Can I make a pattern from a scanned image (raster image, Photoshop file)?
Yes, SymmetryWorks fully supports raster images. Use a part of the image or the entire image. Switch between separate and blended units of repetition with a single click. Or, if your image is relatively simple, convert it to vector art object using the Illustrator auto-trace tool or a specialized program such as Adobe Streamline or FreeSoft’s Silhouette plug-in.
