TayAlex Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Have a question regarding the following image: I have done the work according to one of the tutorials on how to make a repeating pattern. I don't understand though why it is cutting the bunny's face on the alternate line. Any help please? P.S. I usually have to make digital paper size 1024px so I make the pattern file 128px otherwise it doesn't seem to be seamless, that is correct, no?

lindarobin Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 This image is not perfectly square. It's 316x331. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TayAlex Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 Its just a cutout so that I didn't have to paste a huge picture .... does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindarobin Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Please post a link to the tutorial. I did it before with perfect results, but now can't remember all the steps. I recall something about a 50% offset to a duplicate layer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindarobin Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Playing around and managed this. The important thing is to have a perfect square. Duplicate the layer. Apply offset *exactly* half the width. Merge the layers. Define this as your new pattern. In my example, I had the bunny inside a 120x120px canvas, so my offset was horizontal -60; vertical +60.

TayAlex Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 I am getting what you are saying, just not getting that result. I made a square 128 x 128 and positioned the critter vertically and horizontally smack in the center. Then I duplicated the critter and offset to 64 which is half of 128 and get that weird half critter only down in one corner. I also need it to be seamless both vertically and horizontally. I have no clue what I am doing wrong: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindarobin Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 horizontal -64; vertical +64. Side note: The graphic does not need to be exactly in the middle. It just has to be completely within the square Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TayAlex Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 Ok, well the pattern works, I forgot the MINUS but I am still back to square one, every alternate row, the critter is "squashed". This is just not working for me and I can't figure out why: Anyway, won't bother any longer, thanks for all your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindarobin Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 It's possible that this part of your Photoshop program is not working properly. If you have the opportunity to sit at someone else's computer with Photoshop and make a pattern successfully, then you would know it's your program, not you.

andrykayle Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Can this be done using Illustrator whether Photoshop isn't working fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
