Plugin Question

[katust]

Does anyone know a plugin that will allow me to automatically do something like this:

- Take x amount of pixels from the location and move it x amount of pixels to this location...

- take x amount of pixels and flip it horizontally and move it x amount of pixels

Most of the projects I work on is just repeating the same same pattern. I would want a plugin that will quickly do it for me.

Here's a brief example of what I do...

I take a 128x32 box and copy it and move it down two pixels. I then copy the one I moved down and flip it horizontally and move it down 32 pixels.

There's no plugin to do that specifically, but one could be made.

 

I think I understand what you're saying. Just to be sure though, can you post example images after each step is taken?

Here's a brief example of what I do...

I take a 128x32 box and copy it and move it down two pixels. I then copy the one I moved down and flip it horizontally and move it down 32 pixels.

1. Select the Rectangle Select tool

2. In the Tool Bar, set the Mode to Fixed Size, the Units to Pixels and the size to 128 x 32.

3. Make a selection where you want it.

4. Copy the selection with Ctrl + C

5. Paste the selection into a new layer with Ctrl + Shift + V

6. The move tool is automatically activated when pasting - press the down arrow on your keyboard twice to move the selection down two pixels.

7. Copy the selection again with Ctrl + C

8. Paste into a new layer with Ctrl + Shift + V

9. flip the newest layer horizontally with Layers > Flip horizontally

10. Use the Paneling plugin to move the layer down 32 pixels (for repeats of this step you can press Ctrl + F).

It looks complex, but is surprisingly quick.
