Artlandia SymmetryShop

Artlandia has released Artlandia SymmetryShop, a new plugin for pattern design from within Adobe Photoshop that relieves the designer from the tedium of manually creating repeating patterns. The new plugin extends the technology, originally created for Illustrator with SymmetryWorks, to Photoshop: SymmetryShop creates patterns of all seventeen symmetries and allows the designer to produce an even richer repertoire of popular repeat types with a single-click. The built-in library includes drop, diamond, spot, grid, gradation, and scale repeats for the same broad range of applications. Once created, patterns can be instantly converted from one repeat type to another while pattern parameters can be interactively adjusted, either from within the plugin or directly in Photoshop. It allows for unlimited iterations and refinement, with the design process spanning multiple sessions for producing complex, real-life pattern designs. It supports Photoshop 6 or later is $265 (electronic) or $291 (on CD).
