The seamless challenge

[tidalbobo]

I have a problem with creating a seamless texture. Seamless is no big thing and there are loads of ways to do it for random images. But my problem is how to do it for something like a striped cloth image.

Pls see attached image. Though simple, this has well and truly stumped me
Any tips?

it's the stripes angle, does it have to be that specific texture?

Yes.
Also see the image below. Same problem.
Has anyone developed a filter, plugin or set of operations to tackle this? Are there any outside tools?
Or is this impossible as I am starting to suspect...

you can make the lines horizontal. then apply the pattern on a new layer and then using the transform option rotate the layer a bit to get the same result as the original

EDIT: i tried it with your provided picture but it didnt work, all the lines are at slightly different angle so if you make one horizontal another at a slight angle.

so if you make just 1 line horizontal you can make your pattern

good one, why didnt i think of that.

Anyhow i created a new pattern from scratch.

The problem I am attempting to solve is general - not this specific image.
Basically, how would one make this sort of an image seamless????

For example, for grass we have the offset filter. What can be the procedure for this sort of images?

 

[Zeealex]

the same filter, i use the offset filter for just about everything, but for irregularly angled images like that, preparation can vary.

 

[tidalbobo]

No, the offset filter + clone tool does not do the job for this type of images

i know that i was just saying, i use clone and offset for practicall anything these days.

this one's more of a pattern type.
