Prints and Patterns

Seamless prints created from a text prompt and optional reference images

If not already selected, choose Prints and Patterns from the model selection dropdown at the top of the Create module.

The default option is Generate Seamless Print which will allow you to create seamless, repeatable prints from a prompt and optional reference images.

Recolor is used to change the colors of a reference image of a print based on a prompt or a color reference image. You can either type in the colors you’d like to see, or upload an image to guide the palette. This will not generate a seamless print.

Extract Print from Garment allows you to isolate and reuse prints directly from garment or accessory images. Upload a photo of a printed garment, crop to the area with the print, and Raspberry will generate a clean, repeatable version for you to use in new designs.

Adding reference images is optional. When adding your reference image, you’ll choose Style Inspiration or Seamless Converter.

Style Inspiration

This choice allows you to use any image at all, along with your prompt to influence the colors and aesthetics of your print outputs. You have the ability to add up to three reference images as Style Inspiration. The examples below use the same prompt “A cascade of watercolor peonies” with different reference images.

There are three ways you can use this feature:

1

Find a print similar to your desired output and use it to inspire brand new prints without simple duplication. This is great for when you have a scan of a similar print that is not perfectly flat.

2

Create a simple color palette and upload. The outputs will loosely follow the colors in the palette and fit into a set color story. 

3

Choose an image to transfer the style to your outputs. This could be a photograph or painting. See below how the style and colors of the reference image are transferred to the output, without duplication. Different references create outputs with a very different feel.

You can combine up to three images and adjust their influence using the sliders.

TIP

For yarn-dye patterns (stripes, gingham, plaid), use a similar pattern as your reference.

Seamless Converter

This choice is useful when you have a flat reference image of a print without a repeat. The Seamless converter will very closely follow the supplied reference image, and create a seamless repeatable print or texture by adding similar motifs and designs. 

TIP

We suggest not to use a printed garment on a body because the silhouette will also be pulled in. You want to use a flat image cropped so only the print or texture is showing.

The similarity slider should be set quite high at 70% or above to create a seamless print similar to the reference image.

Checking this box will limit the generated print to between 2 and 12 colors.
Note: quality may degrade for complex prints (like florals or paisleys).

These examples use the same prompt. The print to the right features a limited number of colors in the palette.

You can now also create prints in a 16:9 rectangular ratio using the aspect ratio toggle, useful if your repeats feel too regular.
