How to make this image seamless.

[mikebolton]

I've been asked to use this stonework on an exterior image i'm doing.

 

Any help on how I could make the seamless and tileable?

 

I've tried but keep getting a repeat. Any help would be appreciated!

Mirror it in photoshop, as well as some editing to make the mirror work properly.

The only way you won't get repeat from such small sample is some of the texture synthesis tools available (sparse...). There was one just for bricks, can't remember straight from head now, that let you manually draw shapes around bricks and would generate variations computed based on it. Might be worth looking into unless short on time, it which case, just tediously manual retouch.

What I do is put together several pictures together, then copy 4 or 5 different stones and move them around to break up the repeating pattern.

You can use a software like Pixplant http://www.pixplant.com/ it cat generate seamless texture and maps from a single texture.

If it's vitally important that you need to use the photographed stone, then I would cut the stone into individual stones. Then I would duplicate them, and flip them horizontally, then duplicate again and flip vertically (so long as the lighting on the stone isn't obvious), then duplicate them again and alter the hue, saturation and contrast slightly. That will give you plenty of variation. I'd then re-build the wall, starting with the seams so it's tileable from the start, then fill the in-between areas with random stones.

 

Quite time consuming but it does work.

just try cg textures or total tex vol 1 in cg percia...u can get same like this

 

A link to the actually collection when the OP can purchase from would be more beneficial than pointing them towards ripping off someone's work.

and when your done use the OFFSET filter in Photoshop to fix your edges. Better than mirroring as you can see a mirror tiling.

That'll just cause a bad edge and will be more visible and kind of defeats the point in manually reconstructing the stones in the first place. The way to do the seam is to create a column of stone in the CENTRE of the canvas, THEN offset it so it covers both the right and left edges, then manually fill the empty space.
