New kaleidoscope action

niemand214780 · Jan 10, 2005

Thanks to Jonas Lohr's earlier post, I started messing around with kaleidoscope effects and came up with this action set with two variations. I would appreciate some testers before I ask to have it placed on atncentral. The effect is limited to images of certain sizes (as explained at the start of the actions).

Here are examples of the two actions -- I placed the starting image in the upper left so you can see the type of image that works well. The third image was of some rocks, and I masked out the edge to emphasize the heart shapes.

You're welcome. I really like your second image -- it looks like it came from a flower pic.

Hi,

The action worked fine. Here are my results using PSCS (if pbase will behave itself for a moment). I wish I had more time to play but I'm getting ready for work.

No amount of time can erase the memory of a good cat, and no amount of masking tape can ever totally remove his fur from your couch.

Thanks. Yes, it did originate as a flower shot. I found that rotating the starting image 90 or 180 degrees gives very different results!

Did you flatten your image first? You need to have a background layer.

yes...it was flattened. Usually a Duplicate will fix these type of things.

The actions now duplicate the document, not just the background, and flatten. Also, I changed the requirements on the 16-piece circle to 100 pixel increments from 600 px square to 1600 px square. The person (Mike Warren) who posted the 657 px image shows what happens with odd numbers -- those white lines shouldn't be there! (though it somehow seems to work in that particular image).

The revised action is the same link:

It's been fun seeing all the wonderful variations you have been posting.
