Edgeless document in Photoshop!
The idea is having an option to make a layer repeat over the edges of the document, so when you paint / draw something over the edge on that layer, it would appear on the other side too.
You could also move layers over the edge and they'd duplicate over the other side for when you copy parts of an images about.
Heres a mock-up of the idea, You can see the edgeless button at the top of the layers panel. The reason i've suggested it just being something that works on a per layer basis is to not crash Photoshop with heavy documents.
This idea is something most of us want and here at polycount we clearly have enough people to get this idea into Adobes radar. Also I'm sure its something we could tell others about and they'd want it too.
With that in mind the please go to this suggestion page on Adobes Photoshop feedback site.

Its quick and easy to sign up. You only need an email.
Please voice your opinion on this. Please post a comment under my post so they can see people want this,
Also if you can mock-up a better design or idea feel free to do so.
Here's another picture of it when you make the base brick layer edgeless, this is where you could be cloning and sorting seams, I posted the other picture as this ones a bit hard on the eyes.
maybe we can get polycounts twitter to post about this?
Its a shame Photoshop is not really open to scripts to add features this, If it was I'm sure some amazing person out there would have already made something like this for Photoshop. where would we be without things such as textools!?

Oh my god! That is amazing. Do want!
ooh lloyd that's really cool! I didn't even know that was possible in photoshop
@lloyd YES PLEASE!
lloyd: I would defiantly be interested in a script that does that.
Ho yes !
lloyd: Looks very useful. Do want!

@lloyd awesome man.
lloyd, that script would be fantastic man.

wow, that's great! how does it work? I thought the Photoshop Background was locked?
OF COURSE WE DO!
The Dag Node wrote: »Wow, thats awesome!
This is what I've been dreaming of for the past time. The advantage of photoshop to zbrush method is that we can see the tiling in effect as we paint and that is really awesome!
So are you planning of putting this out there?

Llyod, not sure if someone would need something like that? People have been begging for something like it for years!

I love the idea of the script working per layer too! sounds great and i will back it
This + nDo, id never leave photoshop haha.
ps thank you adobe
1) for having a joke for full alpha png8bit support in photoshop forcing us to batch through fireworks
2) A slop timeline for hand painting seamless texture sequences, or even just traditional animation
3) an absolute joke of a graph editor for Flash, making any character animator cringe at its sight
4) btw how long did it take to put in canvass rotation even though Painter had it in the 90's?
exactly.. where is that open source 2d package, you know like how blender is slowly becoming better than anything Autodesk could ever handle..
OK...*backs away very slowly*
Yeah, I didn't have issues, what browser are you using?
It was nice you only need an email and don't have to give licensing info
ya i had the same issue useing my main browser Opera 11 worked fine on firefox for me though
Photoshop is shoehorned into a painting program. Adobe only cares about the Graphic Designers and Photographers. It's called Photoshop and not Paintshop for a reason.
[EDIT] "Voted" as in waiting for there crappy site to let my message in
another feature would be if you could drop in a symmetry line anywhere in the doc and your strokes would be mirrored across it, horizontally or vertically.

Edit... related video here.

this was what caused the responses that you quoted in your OP, but it appears that the working on that you mention is just a post on an adobe wishlist and a screen mock-up.....am I missing something here? Its not the first time that I will have made an arse of myself on a forum but if this is the case then why post something misleading on the WAYWO thread at all when you could have just made a "vote for my idea" thread.
hehehe I guess I confuse easily
I personally want more them to waste their time on useless bloat like "puppet warp".
In case the sarcasm doesn't translate to text, I whole heartily support this and have for many many years. I hope this effort works and if it doesn't I hope we get an explanation as to why.
While they're at it, symmetry paint would be great and long overdue.
Pretty sure that's how everyone read it judging by the number of WANT responses

Its a shame that the suggestions forum also includes Lightroom. without them we'd be on the first page of ideas!
So yeah. things are looking up as far as support for this goes. just need more comments and votes now.
Its also been cool to see peoples reaction to this and how other programs already have these features. so its not too far out of the unusual to ask for.
Same for Mirroring stuff (Plane with a 2by1 Subdivision and mirrored UV space)?
Give us a way to quickly change the color of the cursor instead of dynamic brightness, to force it to have a certain color. Maybe so we can cycle from dynamic > black > white > red > blue > green > dynamic with a press on a button/shortcut.

would be nice to have a feature like this. id prefer Zbrush's method of hold-tilde and drag canvas in addition to tile painting, but maybe a script can be written for that.
painter also has seamless texture painting (since very early versions, quite imperfect, but it's there), and painter 12 features mirror painting
it's brush engine is different from PS and performance is lacking quite a lot tho
Yeah its cool to see other apps have this, but it would also be nice if Photoshop could too.
I find painters brush tools to be really fun, it definitely feels like painting more, maybe its just the added bevel they have.
I don't necessarily like all the painters brushes, but painter's brush response and way it works with wacoms (especially wacoms, I should say) is much more natural in comparison with PS. it also takes your stokes speed/velocity in consideration, supports multiple intuos pens, plus painters blending capabilities are very sweet (very quick as well)
on the other hand, it's been a little bit like photoshops mentally challenged little sister for many versions already in terms of development, plus corel tend to break features and rarely fix them back at times, lol. it's less stable too.
sorry for derailing this thread a bit.
Had a chance to try this out, in CS4 extended. It does work, though it's a bit weird.
1. Image Size = 300% (to counteract the 3D downsize)
2. 3D menu... New Tiled Painting.
3. Paint! Your strokes are auto-tiled.
4. 3D menu... Rasterize.
5. Canvas Size = original image size, like 1024x1024 or whatever.
Negatives: the 3D paint is a bit blurry (because it's a projection), so cloning for example looks blurry. Also it only works on one layer at a time. And the painting response time is a bit slow.
You can avoid the blurriness if you paint on a separate 3D layer, rasterize it, then Sharpen before you merge down.
Nonetheless, a cool tool to have in the toolbox. Glad I tried it out.
The bad news, as you already know is, it's not currently possible with scripting.
I called up a co-worker, Ryan Turney, and told him about the problem. While we came up with some solutions for similar problems we couldn't quite solve your specific one. We debated on learning the Photoshop SDK, but don't quite have the time. I believe it would be possible to do this with the SDK and Adobe should definitely make this happen as it's a general tool within other editors. (MapZone, Zbrush, Mudbox)
also remember, to post things of this(tools) nature on [URL="http://www.tech-artists.org]www.tech-artists.org[/URL]
Also, for those unfamiliar with the offset method mentioned earlier, this is probably the best thing you got.
http://www.photoshoptextures.com/texture-tutorials/seamless-textures.htm
The SDK only allows you to write the following type of plugins (copied from the SDK docs).
I've only briefly glanced through the SDK as I wanted to know if I could do a mirror painting plug (which I think is possible when hacking your way into it using a Stack Renderer), but this type of feature would involve modifying the background. But if anyone more experienced with the Photoshop SDK could shed any light on this -> awesome.
All in favor for this feature as well though!
I'll try to upload the quick Actions I made for it. The steps I posted before are bad workflow, messes up the other layers. Solved that though.
