How to apply the Kaleidoscope Effect in Pixlr E?

Step #1

Open your desired image in Pixlr, and select the "Filter" option from the top menu bar. Click on "Creative" from the drop-down menu then select the "Kaleidoscope" option. This effect creates a symmetrical pattern by replicating and reflecting the image.

Step #2

The Kaleidoscope effect opens up with a default setting, which creates a five-way mirror effect. To change the mirror count, drag the "Amount" slider located in the Kaleidoscope panel to increase the number of mirrors on the image.

Step #3

Adjust the Kaleidoscope pattern by dragging the "Position" slider in the Kaleidoscope panel. This slider controls the portion of the image used to create the mirror patterns.

Step #4

Experiment with the "Stretch" slider in the Kaleidoscope panel to control the stretch of the mirrors. By increasing the Stretch, the Kaleidoscope effect will be more stretched outwards, creating a "zoomed-in" effect on the image.

Step #5

Once you have adjusted the settings to your preference, click on the "Apply" button to apply the Kaleidoscope effect to your image. Pixlr also provides an option to preview the effect before applying it to the image. To further enhance the effect, try using other tools and features in Pixlr.
