Photoshop: Mirror Paint/Symmetric/Seamless Tile Paint Function

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled
Symmetry?.

Symmetry... look for Krita or other painting app that have symmetry. I'm pretty sure there is a lot of open source source code that can show you how to do it and add something similar, its been years I want this in photoshop -,- sad...

Wuao, 3 years ago this thread.

Canvas wrap and Live symmetry would be a really stunning addition. Astute Graphics has done it for Illustrator. Any chance of it it in Photoshop, 2015 release?

Shout on my Twitter @dramenon > it may help.

Id like to throw my hat in here as one of those requesting a symmetry tool feature in Photoshop! :-)

4 years ago...

Come on guys....Still not in the loop ?
I decided to moved to CLIP STUDIO PAINT EX just for this feature , since it exists and it s just fantastic .. !!

Maybe in another release ?

Having a toggle for texture tiling mode for layers and groups would be awesome! This is a feature I've wanted for a long time (for creating textures to use in 3D applications, matte paintings in Photoshop, and visual effects work in After Effects). There are so many uses for this and would be one more great reason for people to almost exclusively use Photoshop as their 2D image manipulation/creation software.

I just started using Krita for digital painting and they have a Wrap Around Mode. That is exactly what Photoshop needs.

Give up man. You are beating a dead horse. They don't care and are full of excuses. I actually think it is their code, they aren't able to do it because of the way it was written. Something like this is very simple, especially since every drawing app on the planet has this feature except for Photoshop.

Actually we do care.

Don't listen to, dav3 he just likes to grumble.
:)

Dustin shoot me an email (daniel at adobe dot com) I would like to get more info from you if you want to discuss further.

So, do you have any news then ?

Is this functionnality (realtime symmetry, wrapping around, canvas repetition.. whatever it s called) planned ?

thanks for any feedback

I don't like to grumble. Everyone here from Adobe has been either:

1. rude
2. acting like a know-it-all
3. or full of excuses, with no real answers for the users.

Daniel, feel fee to reply to my emails. People have been asking for these simple features for years—literally. Photoshop doesn't seem to listen to professional 3d visual effects/video game artists, illustrators or concept artists.

Frederic, if you want better drawing tools, use a better drawing program like Sketchbook pro. They are really nice, responsive and the feel/feedback is a much better experience.

"People have been asking for these simple features for years—literally."

Years? Try decades.

Companies are not allowed to specify what will be available or time frames, sorry. But I have been having a lot of conversations on this subject.

3 > I dont recall ever giving you or anyone an excuse on this matter (or others) I try to tell you straight when possible.

I have replied to your emails.

I have never discouraged others form trying other products, I still believe in Photoshop as my favorite tool despite the others on the market. And I have used them all.

Oh we listen, plenty of examples of listening and doing. We converse *continually* with a variety of creatives that provide valuable feedback on this subject and many things.

Have a nice day

>>Some of us are professional artists working and do not have time for finding these, or bothering with these forums.

2 > But we do know it all with regards to this product and all that entails :)

>> Maybe with the product, but not with the suite or needs of professionals, hence 3d even being a thought in Photoshop.

3 > I dont recall ever giving you or anyone an excuse on this matter (or others) I try to tell you straight when possible.

>> No, I just got an earful of the Adobe soapbox. Photoshop might be your favorite, but hardly represents the professional aspects of individual creative industries.

Has anyone seen Affinity? Give them a try. Their products are simple, clean and fast, not to mention cheap. They are up and coming... https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/
