I'm working on a project in Photoshop 3.0 for Windows 95. What I'd
like to do next is something that I was able to do with a program I
used with a Mac several years ago -- I believe it was SuperPaint.

What you could do is select the paint tool, then choose a series of
repeated images that the paintbrush would paint on the image, such as
birds flying or whatever. You paint, and instead of a solid color
appearing, these repeated images appear under the brushstrokes.

Photoshop doesn't have this tool. I'm sure there is a workaround. Or
maybe there is another Windows 95 program that can do this?

Fractal Design Painter will do exactly this. They call the feature the
"Image Hose".

See http://www.fractal.com

for a list of Fractal's products including painter.

You can use the clone tool. It can sample say a mountain peak from
another image and you can "paint" with that.

I just started playing around with that stuff myself. Here's some low
res copies of a couple images I made last week just for fun...

The PhotoShop clone tool copies one area of an image to another. It does
not make a repeated copy of the original. Fractal Design's Painter has a tool
called the Image Hose that allows you to assign multiple images as the paint
tool output. Then when you paint repeated copies of the assigned images are
applied.

Fractal Design has a new product called Expression available. Its a
rather strange and unusual mix of Vector and Bitmaps but may
give you more control even than Painter.

Its worth a look

Hi Reid,

all you have to do is create the shape you want to use as the "stamp" then
select it with the marquee and go to the brushes palette and "Define" a new
brush. You'll create a brush in that shape.

Further, you can double click the brush and change it's "spacing" to like
200% which will make it put the images further apart as you drag the brush.

Cheers, Eric.

Look at the options under the clone tool: clone - non-aligned it'll do
what you want.

Yes it does, two different ways. The choices are in the Options dialog:

1. Clone (Non-aligned) clones repeatedly from the same beginning point. In
other words, if you have only a single flower but want to make a whole
field of flowers, option-click the center of your flower, click in the
document to clone the flower, then release the mouse button. When you click
again in a new location, you're still beginning with the center of the
flower. It's easier to do than explain.

2. You can Define Pattern, then clone with Pattern (Aligned) or Pattern
(Non-aligned).For a wallpaper-like repeating pattern, choose Pattern
(Aligned).
