P: Mirror Paint/Symmetric/Seamless Tile Paint Function

[davep61284792]

Photoshop could use a interactive Mirror Paint and Seamless edge/border painting function. Painter has had this feature for about 10 years now.

> after years of waiting and getting these fundamental features for photoshop blocked, because some people in photoshop think "there is no big demand for this", i have to say:
Forget it guys.>

Well. . . that's what voting is for—if people bother to come here to vote, it must be important to a lot more who don't even know this site exists. I'm pretty sure Adobe figures it that way—every vote here does count, even if it doesn't mean we get what we want on our preferred timeline. Heck, that's pretty much a given.<G>

> Clip Paint Studio>

I've been using Corel Painter almost as long as I've been using Photoshop. But I am in Photoshop for the powerful image editing and compositing features it has, so I also like to use their brushes. I especially enjoy using dynamic brushes in PS. Clip Studio Paint (I just looked it up—forgot the name but I've looked at the site before) is for a type of illustration I'm not interested in. If I were, if I did Manga or an illustrative art form similar to that, and didn't use Photoshop for a lot of other reasons, I could perhaps switch—or for about the same price, just keep on using Corel Painter (upgrade pricing) for a lot of different painterly styles.

But I'd prefer to keep the pressure on Photoshop to expand their capabilities, especially since I'm going to be using it anyway, like many of its brushes features, and if it won't suit for everything, other apps aren't as suitable for ways I do use Photoshop's brushes. 

I'd very much like symmetry when drawing/painting in PS. I can draw in AI with symmetry using Astute Graphics software, and enjoy doing so, but of course, that's vector and has to be converted in PS in order to use PS brushes with it. I also would like to see something better in the way of clone painting, but so far, only Painter is greatly improving on that.

That I can go to other programs to solve problems isn't going to make me give up on getting Photoshop to incorporate it IF I think it's a good match for Photoshop's own existing feature set, though.

Mirror/Symmetry painting is now supported in Photoshop CC. See: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/whats-new.html

That's cool. I love Kritas paint continuation for painting. Basically as you paint off canvas it wraps to the other side in a continua motion. Allowing the ability to create tiles

[AndyWizz]

A pattern-preview or tile-preview to create seamless patterns or tiles would be cool for Webdesigns and Game-Artwork. You might work on your tile and watch it changing in an 3x3 field.
Now possible with linked smart-Objects?

[J453]

Leaving topic open. Seamless tiles is under consideration.

When Photoshop asks me to rate and out suggestions I out that every time.

Need this! You'll see a massive increase in game artists coming back to photoshop exclusively to use this!

This feature would be so beneficial with the nitty-gritty and seams in game art.

The mirrored painting option that came out this past year was
appreciated but a little lacking since it's just shy of giving people
the option to paint tiled patterns. I've found people requesting this
feature for the past 10 years. It would be extremely useful for game
designers, textile artists, graphic designers, you name it.

There
should be an option (probably just an addition to the existing mirrored
painting feature, where if the brush passes through one side of the
canvas, it emerges from the opposite side, thus creating an instantly
tiled image that can be modified in real time.

The only current
workaround is to keep using the offset tool which is especially
un-helpful for images that need to lock into one another.

Several
free painting applications have this feature and it's been around for
at least 5 or 6 years now in Corel Painter. Just don't see why Photoshop
can't get around to this, especially since they went through the
trouble of adding the mirrored painting feature.

Please add this simple mode that is crucial for stylized art and texture artist. It's similar to "New Tiled Painting from Layer" but not working in 3D mode. Also adding a funciton like "Texture Repetition" (infinite filled workspace with tilled texture) from Substance Designer would be helpful.

Can you add wrap around mode in Photoshop? I mean when you draw to one side and continue from opposite side. Something like this.

It would be useful in making textures.

Could we get a way to make seamless patterns editable in realtime? The symmetry option available is already very close to what I'm looking for, but I don't want only symmetry, I want a way to see how my design will *tile* as I'm drawing out the pattern on the fly.

[андрейб62592507]

Automatically creating a seamless pattern is not
that hard, right? You don’t need a neural network for that. You only need to
conduct a couple of transformations while accounting for edges. Many people
will be happy to have this function! (video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pleQosNhGY&t=1494s)

Hello,
This feature is existing now, but it don't works when you paint on a texture layer from the "3D workspace".

is it a bug or "by Design" ?
