DumbSymmetry for Photoshop

kritskiy

Hey everyone. I've been doing a number of thumbnails recently and honestly, I love Photoshop, but mirroring and flipping for symmetry thumbnails is a pain in the ass. I've googled a bit but haven't find any smart realtime symmetry solutions for PS, so I made a dumb non-realtime.



Basically it does flip+erase+move routine based on guide or selection. Available as panel or script (an be assigned on shortcut). The panel won't work in CS lower than CS6, the script probably will (can't test).

Maybe someone'd find it helpful!

Cheers,

Thanks for this script kritskiy, this is a very handy tool.

Pretty awesome, thanks! Would there be any way to add "smarter" symmetry that automatically runs this when you stop a stroke/let off? Would be a cool little checkbox to add if possible.

kritskiy

Jason Young, AFAIK you cannot get "canvas updates" as an event for script. A friend of mine who makes PS plugins and is in PS QA team said that he asks Adobe for something like this for ages, maybe they'd implement this in CC's future updates but until then it's not possible.

Looks great. Maybe allow a hotkey config to symmetrise(?) faster on the panel.

kritskiy

Actually nothing stops you from assigning the script to hotkey

Hi Kritskiy,
I just found out about this script, and it's pretty cool!
I have been thinking about trying symmetry in LazyNezumi.. but because of Photoshop's limitations it can't be real time unfortunately.
I just had a thought. What if LazyNezumi could be configured to trigger some sort of event (like a hotkey) after each stroke? You could then configure it so that the symmetry script (or anything else that has a shortcut) can be called automatically.
This could be interesting.. let me know what you think. Send me a message if you're interested and we can brainstorm/work together!
