Below is a description of the individual panels. For more details, click on the preview images to see them in full size, they explain all the functionality. Do you just need one specific panel? Check the links below, they are also available individually.

Shuffle Elements:

Create unique element patterns by randomizing various layer properties, such as position, rotation, scale, color and more. All value ranges for the randomized property can be adjusted via a settings popup.

Offset & Overflow:

Create pattern offsets relative to the canvas size and fix overflowing elements by automatically copying them to the opposite side.

A horizontal or vertical half offset can break up the repetition occurring in straight lines and make the pattern look more dynamic. (Aka “Rapport“)

Repeat & Fill:

Fill up the canvas using the selected layer while adjusting various options like offset and gap. The live preview helps to get an immediate feedback of the expected result.

The auto-scale option calculates the necessary up- or down-scale to perfectly fit the generated grid to the canvas size.

Repetition Reducer:

When filling a larger area with a seamless pattern, you can often clearly see the repetitions, which doesn’t look too great. This panel creates more variety by sampling and patching areas of the image.

Using blur and displacement, the patches fully blend into the original.

Pattern Preview Toggle:

Pattern Preview mode is a really helpful feature available since PS 2021. This panel quickly toggles the mode on and off – in case you don‘t want to assign and remember another keyboard shortcut.
