HOW DID I DO THIS?!

[defaultdeo4rgn5t8cg]

I am a beginner with photoshop. I accidentally reached this crazy effect with an image of a mirror. I don't know how I did it but I kind of like it. It looks like it repeated and distorted the frame of it. I want to mess with it more on another image. Anyone have any clue what I did? 😕

It would help to see the original image before you modified it. Do you still have that?

[defaultdeo4rgn5t8cg]

Yes! Here it is.

We need to see the original and maybe we can figure it out... Looks like a Liquify or the distort? 

If you used Liquify I hope you made it as a smart objecT!!1

Let us know!

You might have selected the area outside the mirror and appllied Content Aware Fill.

I think this might have been it! I'll have to try it and see.

Here is the orignal image. I was trying to cutout the white background and I pressed or clicked something - then it distorted/repeated on its own.

Here is what I think must have happened: 

When you pressed the Delete key, this dialog came up, already defaulted to Content-Aware.
