Texloom vs Photoshop

Frequently asked questions

For textile-specific work, yes. Texloom is a specialized textile design platform that automates the tasks Photoshop leaves manual — one-click seamless repeats, spot-color separation with each ink named by its nearest library colour code, and colorway generation. Photoshop remains a general-purpose image editor better suited to photo retouching and complex compositing, so many designers use Photoshop for editing and Texloom for the textile production steps.
