Christian,

Technically, this lenticular effect (like looking through patterned glass) can be achieved in Photoshop. You can do it by hand slicing and assembly, of course. But there may be a third-party plug-in that can fracture and assemble an image this way. Someone else may be able to point you in the right direction.

Take a look at this. (I did it in Illy but you can do it in Photoshop pretty much as easily.

Make some random coloured shapes set to multiply or a photographic image. Mask with an equilateral triangle. Reflect/copy this and rotate by 30°. Move the corners so that they touch. Link/Group and Rotate/Copy by 120°. And again. Get all the corners to line up and bingo.

The example is not a Photoshop effect. It is a CSS effect, repeating a single image file.

Why not duplicate the HTML/CSS and replace with your own image file?

Take a screen shot of your browser and then you have something to bring back into Photoshop.

I said "or a photographic image", so you can reflect/repeat that instead of the bits of "coloured glass" in my image. A kaleidoscopic image is nothing more than a repeated reflection of a basic element. And most kaleidoscopes I have seen use 2 mirrors set at a 60° angle.

Thanks guys,

Obviously a wrong choice of words using kaleidescope … but that was what the link was for…to visually illustrate what I meant.

Appreciate all the responses, cheers!
