How Do I Make a Selection Symmetrical in Photoshop?

Published in Photoshop Selection Tools 1 min read

To create symmetrical selections in Photoshop, you can use the Symmetry Painting option.

Here's how, based on the reference provided:

  1. Activate Symmetry Mode: Photoshop has a symmetry mode available. It splits the canvas into symmetrical sections. The example uses the mandala setting.

  2. Choose the Number of Sections: In the options for Symmetry Painting, you can define how many sections you want for your symmetry. The reference example shows choosing five sections for a pentagon-shaped symmetry.

  3. Commit the Transformation: After selecting the number of sections, hit enter to commit the symmetry transformation to your selection.

This is useful for creating symmetrical patterns such as mandalas or repeating design elements.
