It was not the best picture, in fact it was awful, but I love daffodils and wanted to try and salvage the picture. The yellow daffodils were shot at my local grocery store using my Kodak point-and-shoot. Give it a try and see if you like the results!….Digital Lady Syd It is easy to get some interesting effect with images that are not that great. The Plugin Galaxy has a kaleidoscope effect that I wrote about some in my Instant Mirror and Quick Mirror for Photoshop blog for a little different look. There are other ways to create the kaleidoscope effect. I just thought it turned out to be an interesting design. All I did with this image was add a Curves Adjustment Layer to bring out a little contrast and a Selective Color Adjustment Layer and set the Blue Color to Cyan +34/Magenta 0/Yellow +41/Black -48 Neutrals Cyan and Magenta 0/Yellow +2/Black -13 and Blacks Cyan +3/Magenta 0/Yellow -5/Black 0.
This is one of my miniature mums in this image. These are really fun to do and very easy. The above is just another example of the kaleidoscope effect using Lloyd’s 8_LoRes template. See end of blog for details on how the daffodils were processed and the image finished. See the tych below of my original African Lilly image used to create the kaleidoscope look, top right the result after adding the image to the template, and the bottom right the final result after adding Adjust. The pattern had some little white lines created by the template that needed to be removed before the final kaleidoscope image could be moved it into my yellow daffodil image and used as a background. I added the Topaz (for website link see sidebar in my Tidbits Blog) Adjust 5 Comic Book preset on the resulting kaleidoscope look to get a more drawn line effect. Very ingenious! The background in the image above uses his 16_LoRez template. Create one smart object layer using the part or all of your image, and then each Smart Object layer in the templates updates using the added image – no Photoshop action is used.

The template basically sets up what the two original videos teach you how to do, and has 7 different templates to use. His website link has a very good step-by-step workflow on how to do this so I will not repeat the process. I used Lloyd’s templates and technique to create the kaleidoscope effect in the two images shown here. Mark later did a Workbench 288 The Lloyd Williams Kaleidoscope video using some templates to help you get this effect from Lloyd Williams Photography website. Johnson did a very similar video this topic – see Workbench 272 Simulating a Kaleidoscope if you would like to see how to do it. Corey Barker, a great creative guru with Photoshop, did a tutorial called the Ultimate Kaleidoscope on the NAPP (National Association of Photoshop Professionals) website where he taught you how to make this effect. This week I thought I would just do a quick little blog on the Kaleidoscope effect.
