Hello,

I usualy uses Gimp for this but I wanted to give a try with photoshop CC
I want to create a seamless texture, so I use the offset filter
but check the image, on second aplication of the offset filter, it creates a strange margin for noapparent reason, ruining the texture

offset.png

Here I use smart objects, but I tried with a simple white canvas, drew black lines onf it and applied the filter twice, I dont have the problem

does anyone knows what would be the problem ? I tried restarting PS and reloading the image but same problem

regards

Hello and welcome.

I find that mine does this as well. Give me some time to see if I can figure out what's going on.

Try using the transform function on the image and enter the exact canvas size before you use offset.

I agree with IamSam

I recreating the problem if I did a crop of the image with the Crop Tool yet did not use the option to delete pixels.

The Offset Filter when rotating pixels will pull them out of the entire canvas whether part is hidden or not.

Not sure this is your issue yet thought it was worth mentioning.

WoW! Thank you very much everybody. :cheesygrin: I had to sweat to find my issue for this one. The thing is: The problem started in Illustrator.
I had exported a Illustrator file to Photoshop as a png to accomplish my seamless pattern. But I had this seamless pattern made in the Illustrator with the "Object /Pattern/ Make" tool.
In another forum, this guy gave the answer to my problems with this:

"The more complex the pattern, the more outlines seem to appear around the main pattern. These outlines indicate a single tile and/or sometimes a small cluster of repeating tiles in its overall matrix. A glitch that can be solved by minimizing spatial distance by rounding off those numbers with many decimal places in the HSPACING AND VSPACING (ie: .5672 can be rounded up to .6). This helps create a good starting place, before dancing around incrementing whole numbers to find your pattern's "sweet spot" where all outlines disappear. If you need to, you can work your way into numbers utilizing two decimal places such as quarters, before working deeper down into smaller fractions. This absolutely fixed my issue."
