kaleidoscopic / reflected image in Adobe Photoshop

Original Images

I took these images for the nature and patterns photo shoot.

Edited Images

I edited these in Adobe Photoshop 2018.

How i did it.

  1. First, i opened it original file.
  2. Select > All
  3. Edit > Copy
  4. Image > Canvas Size
  5. If i wanted to flip i on the left, i would anchor it on the right and double the inches on the width.
  6. Edit > Paste
  7. Edit > Transform > Flip Horizontal
  8. Drag the image to the right
  9. Flatten Image
  10. Repeat steps 2 – 4
  11. You would anchor it on the bottom and double the inches on the height, if you wanted to put the flipped image on top.
  12. Edit > Paste
  13. Edit Transform > Flip Vertical
  14. Repeat steps 8 – 9

I like how i turned out because they look unique and it creates a cool pattern, which is why its resembling a Kaleidoscope.

It looks best why the subject is touching two sides of the original image. So when you flip it, it will all be connected.
