DumbSymmetry for Photoshop
polycounter lvl 10
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!

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!
the script doesn't seem to work either?
