Is there any way to make it so that when I place an object on my canvas, if I move it across to the left, any overhang comes back in on the right, and vise versa. Also, the same for top/bottom? I have no idea what you would call that, so google fails me.

If the answer is yes.........then not that I know of! Sorry. I used two layers moved independently.

Yes, exactly. I guess I might have to stick with cutting things in a new layer or document. So far, to get exactly half, I've been placing the object on a new canvas of exact size, then halving the canvas size, copy paste, then undoing and repeating for the opposite side. But where I don't need exactly half, your method would be less work.

Filter / other /offset

top = before
bottom = after

HTH,

Ahh thank you so much Tom :) Exactly what I need. I have a tool that is designed to do this actively (you don't have to tell it, it just does it) but in all other ways the tool is vastly inferior to image editing software, and there's no way to transfer the information between programs short of using the snipping tool/screen capture.

You are quite welcome! I'm glad it was what you needed.

FYI, the image offset feature is used a lot when one is preparing seamless textures in PS.

Cheers,

Tom, thanks so much for showing us this feature! I never would have known it existed. I can see a great use for this already for creating patterns.
