Mirror painting for PS

Post by norrit »

Hello there
Hope this is the right place to ask :oops:

I have been looking for a mirror plugin/tool for PS for some time now, not a plugin that you use to mirror the image one time but a tool that lets you paint in mirror mode, lets you split the image on a line and then what ever you do on one side is done on the other.

donno if this plugin exist or not, but i whoud love it, i use that function in Maya all the time, mirror modeling.

So if you know about any plugin/tool that do this pls let me know :D

I don't think it is possible to do it as you think. Photoshop would have to pass back the coordinates of every brush stroke interactively. I don't think it does that.

The only other way would be to reprogram the brush feature of Photoshop in a filter plugin and then add a mirror brush feature. Would be quite some work and you need to use the Photoshop SDK and write it in C.
