Tile Builder has one of the more sophisticated user interfaces in Image Skill’s collections of plugins, but it’s still quite easy to use and extremely intuitive. In addition to the main window of the plugin, there is a preview window you can activate that allows you to see how the resulting image will appear when tiled.
One of the real strengths of Tile Builder is that it allows you to make non-standard selections of the area in the digital photo that you want to convert into a seamless tile. Also, you can choose from a number of different tiling methods and select a custom edge blending value so that you can make the image as smooth or rough as you like.
Another bonus offered by this plugin is the ability to see how each minor change will affect the final tiled image before actually applying the changes. With Tile Builder, a single digital photo can yield an unlimited number of seamless patterns, each of which is drastically different from the others.
