AffinityAppMan Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 is there a way to create “half drop” repeat patterns in version 1.9 or does it limit you to only single image simple even patterns? How about patterns with multiple images? Also, Can I import other elements from another file or another layer to incorporate it into the repeat pattern layer?

Old Bruce Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I have no idea what "half drop" means. I think you are restricted to what you can actually draw in the repeat area, there is a New Pattern Layer from selection which might get you partway there.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(in the layers panel) The only problem with this method is that it crops images on the edges. It doesn't treat it as a compete continuous pattern. I am restricted to uniform straight looking patterns and I have to stay within the layer border. This created boring uniform patterns. Corel Painter and Clip Studio paint allow me to add or draw extra images, and if I go out of the border, it compensates for that and makes sure it remains un-cropped and as part of the image. Am I missing something or misunderstanding the pattern layers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
