This is really a very good and well done way to select and customize your own image source seed and love the idea to make a kaleidoscope KNOWING AND SELECTING myself the exact part that I want to use fr om the source image, love it. The main problem I see with most of the kaleidoscope filters available in the FF library is that YOU DO NOT KNOW how the source image is taken and what parts are processed and used, and you have been able to solve this very well and easy OTHER VARIANTS ON THIS TOPIC If I understand right you have said In this thread here that you are going to be able to recreate and make one filter or preset for each one of the 17 wall paper groups and I think that this really an awesome idea if you are able to do it with FF Congratulations for the great idea and for all the work to be done for this, it will be really helpful and useful

noggin noggin Posts: 22	This is BRILLIANT! I've dreamt of being able to reproduce the old Terrazo Filter set from Xaos Tools (now sadly gone and incompatible with modern versions of Photoshop) I was sure it must be possible in FF but didn't have the necessary skills / knowledge. The way of selecting the source by scrolling the image is so simple and elegant! Great lateral thinking. Now wouldn't it be good if FF could give us a selection tool that we could move / resize on the fly!!! I look forward to your future Wall Paper sets!

Sorta works, but the GUI is tiny and it crashes if the image is too large. I am going to release more and try to do all 17 I have 2 more in the wings. Some of the wallpaper groups do not work so well with photos, so I may have a different interface, will have to see how the technical part works out. And the higher groups with hexagonal tiling are trickier yet, to tile in a square (or a rectangle) is possible, but will be a challenge. Also, there will be an update of the filter tonight with xirja's speed improvement added in 4 or 5 times faster. Math meets art meets psychedelia.

Haras Arch Hara's Crown Posts: 226	I get totally different results based on whether I check the square tile function. Here is the same seed without the square tile checked:

Haras Arch Hara's Crown Posts: 226	Both results are symmetric, it seems to me, and both incorporate squares . . . so what is the square tile function doing to produce such different results?

Rachel Duim So Called Tortured Artist Posts: 2510 Filters: 189	Check and uncheck the Square Tile checkbox with View Tile Seed checked (on). Notice that the seed shape is different. The symmetry is different. To see the exact differences, take a look at this page and the seeds shapes, I followed this design. Wallpaper Group 9 c2mm Math meets art meets psychedelia.

Haras Arch Hara's Crown Posts: 226	I see now. I thought that because I wasn't changing the seed, it was remaining the same; I didn't realize that checking on square tile changed the seed. BTW, the images are derived from a photograph by Carol Highsmith of wallpaper from the Library of Congress; see below. I have no idea who designed the wallpaper.

Haras Arch Hara's Crown Posts: 226	I reversed the wallpaper picture, and got different patterns (because the wallpaper sample isn't symmetrical). To clarify, the wallpaper picture is from the Library of Congress -- I decided that maybe it sounded like the wallpaper was from the LoC. (Carol Highsmith is a photographer who is donating thousands and thousands of her photographs to the LoC for the use of the nation. There are some great images.)
