Repeated Painter

I installed this and tried it out. It seemed very buggy and froze on me a few times so uninstalled it. It could be a useful tool.

He's posted a small movie of what it does. There is a link on the web page.

It works really well and fast in windows O.

Unfortunately, it seems that the Linux version is not bug free. :hoh

Bonjour,

@Oregonian

My tests on 32-64bit Ubuntu and Fedora 64 are good.

I ran it on Fedora 32. Mayhaps I should try again, eh?

Re-installed and ran it again. I know what I did wrong. I tried it on a transparent layer. The instructions say: ALPHA channel support is not 100% (the plugin is not sensitive to changes in alpha channel)

This time I tried it on a white layer and it worked fine. Thanks, samj.

You can also have the color selector open while using the filter.

I gave Repeat Painter a go using default settings and my Wilber Brush size 75.

512 x 512 seamless

Does anyone know if this works on selections or not?

It does. After I brought up periodic painter, I made an elliptical selection filled it with color, unselected and it spread the ellipse.

Here is mine. The trellis pattern was the background pattern. I made a new layer, filled it with white, painted the rose and ran the filter. Got rid of the white background behind the roses and merged the roses to the trellis background. I tried it first on the trellis layer and it messed up the trellis.

Very cool!
I was hoping it would work for text effects.The PDB for this could possibly make some real cool filters. :bigthup

A text selection and i dabbed the R with a few colors then ran spread and it filled the entire selection of text.
This is sweet. :bigthup

Hey, Rod. Great idea on the selection. Here's mine.

I have found that this plugin is very useful for making textures for Blender 3D

But I've seen the "Wraparound Tool" for Krita and is wonderful:
