In the Contents section, select the option Regular (Pattern). Next, execute the command Editing вЂ“ Run Fill (Edit> Fill) / Shift + F5.

Install Background content (Background Contents) Other (Other) and set the color to black (# 000000).Д¬reate a new layer using Shift-Control-N and give it a name. Install Width (Width) and Height (Height) by 2500 pixels. In the future, you can experiment and create your own effects using patterns. The options listed here are just an example so you can get started. There are several options that you can experiment with. Now, with the finished pattern in place, itвЂ™s time to use the screen casting method to create a kaleidoscope pattern. Name this pattern вЂњGuitar playerвЂќ (Guitarist). Then, run the command Editing вЂ“ Define a pattern (Edit> Define Pattern). Use the created selection as a layer mask: Layers вЂ“ Mask Layer вЂ“ Show Selected Area (Layer> Layer Mask> Reveal Selection).Д¬lick on the layer thumbnail to make sure that you work with the layer, and not its mask. Then click OK to return to the main interface of the program.

Then use the tool Refine radius (Refine Radius Tool) to walk along the edges of our modelвЂ™s hair, thereby creating a more accurate selection. Set the value Radius (Radius) 2 pixels and enable the option Smart radius (Smart Radius). Press the button Refine edge (Refine Edge). If an undesirable part of the background is accidentally captured, then you can hold down the Alt key, and go through these areas to remove the selection. This method will work with almost any image, but specifically for this project, letвЂ™s work with the image of a musician in order to best simulate the original effect from the video.Д¬hoose a tool Fast selection (Quick Selection Tool (W)) and walk on the image of the girl musician to completely select it. We will begin our work by separating the musician (this image will become our pattern) from the background and create a pattern from it, which we will use in our project. Create a patternДЇilling according to the script is especially useful when creating exactly this kind of effect, but it requires a previously prepared pattern to work.

In the archive you will find an alternative version of the materials for the lesson. Note: The source of the lesson is missing some images. This method is similar to the work of Spirograph. The main task in this lesson is to find a way to easily recreate the effect of a kaleidoscope, but not to do it manually, simply by placing a huge number of copies of the image, but using a certain algorithm.ДЇortunately, the program Photoshop has a couple of useful features that will greatly simplify the implementation of this task.ДЇirst of all, an option such as scripting (under the script) fill is often overlooked, which makes the work on creating a kaleidoscope pattern fast enough and has enough settings to take you experimenting with them for several hours! Also associated with it is a function Apply again (Transform Again / Shift + Ctrl + T), allows us to create repeating objects in an interesting way. The best example of this effect can be seen in the video clip Pillow Talk by Zayn. Just one of these great effects is the kaleidoscope effect.
