    I'm not sure there's a simple solution to blending canvas edges together that can be done on the developers side;

    painter used to have an in-house applet generating seamless textures for them, but the original developer is gone, and it's no longer used for the new texture presets they throw in.
    Thanks.

    Yes, making seamless tiling is useful until they perhaps change it in the program. But I'm looking to not have anything repeat. I'm not looking to make a weave though, but rather to control the whole surface of the canvas as one can in a natural medium way to have the texture as a controlled part of the picture with every part of it being unique rather than merely a field to paint on top of where the paint is the only thing that matters.

    But yeah, in the meantime seamless tiling could perhaps hide the fact that it's repeating at all. And in many traditional paintings the gesso level wouldn't matter whatsoever. So your suggestion is a good one in that regard. Long ago I saw some tutorials talking about how to make seamless tiles in Photoshop. But if the AR folks can fix it, then it's open to use as envisioned without the extra hassle.
