Kaleidoscope
This form of image is composed of four of the same photograph that has merely been copied and pasted onto the same document.



How to:
In order to create these types of images, the first thing that you have to do is find a photo that you want to transform into a kaleidoscope, and then you right click and select "open with" and select "Photoshop". Once you have placed the image into Photoshop, make sure that you can see your "layers" table. If not, go to the "window" drop-down menu and make sure the "layers" window is check-marked. Now, you have to go up to the "image" drop-down menu, and go down to "image size". From here, you will have to change the document size to a width and and height that will both be whole numbers and somewhere around 6-15 inches on both measurements. Make sure that you do have the width and height set to inches and that the resolution is set to 72 pixels/inch. Then, select "ok". After you have done that, you are going to go up to the "file" drop-down menu and select "new". Once you have hit "new", a box will be shown and you will have to set the width and height to inches and that they are twice the size of your image that you displayed earlier. Also, make sure the resolution is also set to 72 pixels/inch here too. Then, select "ok". Now, you will have to go back to your chosen image, and select "command + A" (this will select your image), and then select "command + C" (this will copy your image). From here, go back to your new/blank document, and select "command + V" (this will paste your selected image to the blank document). You will have to paste your image four times to the same document. *Notice* that your "layers" window will show that you have four different layers displayed on your document. With this in mind, click on each individual layer, starting with 4 and going down to 1, and moving them to fit all four corners of the document (starting with the top left, then the top right, the bottom left, and the bottom right). Now, leave the first image (top left) alone, and select the second image (top right) from the "layers" table. Then, go to the "edit" drop-down menu and select "transform" and then "flip horizontal". After that, select the third image (bottom left) from the "layers" table, and do the same thing, except select "flip vertical" instead. Once this is done, select the last image (bottom right), and do the same thing, but now you are going to select "flip horizontal" and then go back and select "flip vertical" as well. Now, you can move all of the the images, selecting them through the "layers"table, to make four different types of kaleidoscopes with the same image. Once you have decided which kaleidoscope you like, go to the "layer" drop-down menu and select "flatten image". This will make it so that all of the four images combine into one. From here, you can now go to the "file" drop-down menu and select "save as" and provide it with a name. For the "format", select "JPEG", and then hit "save" and hit "ok" when it asks you how big you want the file.
