Hi!
I'm new to this forum but hope you guys can help me solve a problem!
I want to create an image like this with this "psychedelic" effect:

I've tried the clone stamps and some filters but the results where far from good. If someone knew how to do this it would really make my day!

Thanks!
 
:lol: Hmmm had a look at this and it seems to be some sort of a kaleidoscope effect. However with that said I could not reproduce it in PS :frown:
 
I think I could reproduce that.

Take the landscape and cut a square out of the center. Feather or blur around the edges. Make a copy of that layer, shrink it a little and move it behind the first layer. Lather, rinse, repeat. Looks like a dozen or more layers.
 
Huh. It worked. Now, is it actually something I'll ever want to do?

I did! My first post in this thread I proposed the method. The second one, I showed the result :)
 
Here, I'll break it down in steps. Pick your landscape and start by duplicating the base layer.

1. Make a rectangular marquee in the middle of your working layer
2. Feather the selection (I did 5 pixels).
3. Cut the selection out of the middle
4. Duplicate the layer
5. Take the bottommost of the two layers and shrink it (CTRL-T and scale it down)
6. Position it (either centered or on the horizon).

Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 until the whole is entirely filled. I make it fifteen or more layers in the original p'shop.

Excellent, thanks.
Here's your first gold star. :wink:
 
OK, I'll try this and see if it really works.

it took me a brief 20 minutes, and I left out a few steps, but the results was awesome if I do say myself.
