is there a Kaleidoscope plug-in for Pshop?

Hello, a new way to do it, for free, is to use the secret Capture "create from image" in-app app, that you will find at the bottom of your libraries panel (the + might have moved to the right, compared to the link below)

A great application to make all kind of tiles and kaleidoscope for mac is GraphicConverter, I love this app you can do so many things with it. I have an old mac so I have an old version but is great. You can download a newer version (10.7)  via torrent.

Mehdi have one, I not sure if still works.

Kaleidoscope

Or "manual"

Here's a plugin called KALEIDOFx

Lots of kaleidoscope type filters for Filter Forge

Unfortunately, it seems all the free kaleidoscope plugins are on the windows side.

I can't remember how I even found it but I found an action years ago for kaleidoscopes. I don't know how to attach it here, but if you're still interested, let me know. There is also a stand alone program (Scopeworks) that is really good but it  makes small files.

To create kaleidoscope in Photoshop you can try the Animated Kaleidoscope Photoshop Tool:

Gary,

I need an intervention. Kaleidoscopes are highly addictive. Here's a link for PS.MikeW Photoshop Actions Free Downloads

I use a different one but I don't know where it came from since I found it a couple of years ago. Hope this helps.

Cheers.

Not too hard to do with an action using Free Transform step & repeat.

New square image - say 1500 x 1500 pixels

View > New vertical guide 50pc  (50%)

View > New hirizontal guide 50pc

I'd also centre the grid to centre image

Select the Polygon tool from the Shapes tools, and decide how many sides (it needs to be an even number to allow for mirroring)

Start the Polygon from the centre, hold down the Alt (Opt) key, and rotate to keep the botton edge square to the image with help of the Guides.

Make the Polygon with no fill and a 1 pixel stroke (from the options bar.

Now you have a guide to make your first segment

Draw that segment with the Pen tool, load it as a selection, and fill with white in a new layer

Lock the transparency for that layer.   (This is the layer you draw your coloured shapes etc. on.)

OK. Now you need to record your action so open the Actions panel.

Select your segment layer, and Click on new Action > Give it a name, and shortcut (optional)

Copy the layer (Ctrl j or Cmd j)

Free Transform > select the centre top handle from the 3x3 grid left end of the options bar, and enter an angle (45° for eight segments) > Enter to commit

Shift Ctrl Alt t (Shift Cmd Opt t)

Repeat the above seven times

End the action.

OK.  Delete all the new segment layers, go back to the master segment, draw on it with fancy coloured brushes.

Run the Kalidascope action.
