The reflection effects include such effects as a kaleidoscope or an intricate pattern.

The Feedback effect makes the image appear reflected in concentric squares or circles. You can access the Feedback dialog box by choosing Effects Reflection Effects Feedback.
The Feedback dialog box contains the following controls:
• |
Opacity — controls the strength of the effect. As the Opacity increases, the image displays more of the effect and less of its original appearance. |
• |
Intensity — sets the number of image repetitions |
• |
Horizontal offset — positions the center of the feedback effect horizontally in the image. The position is a percentage of the width of the image. At 50, the feedback effect starts at the center of the image. Increasing the value moves the center to the right. Decreasing the value moves the center to the left. |
• |
Vertical offset — positions the center of the feedback effect vertically in the image. The position is a percentage of the height of the image. At 50, the feedback effect starts at the center of the image. Increasing the value moves the center toward the bottom. Decreasing the value moves the center toward the top. |
• |
Elliptical — makes the feedback elliptical (oval). You can unmark the check box to return to the rectangular (default) shape of the feedback. |

The Kaleidoscope effect turns a pie-shaped area of an image or selection into a circular pattern. The result is similar to the pattern seen in a kaleidoscope. You can access the Kaleidoscope dialog box by choosing Effects Reflection Effects Kaleidoscope.
The Kaleidoscope dialog box contains the following controls:
• |
Horizontal offset — determines the horizontal origin of the effect. Negative values move the pie origin to the left. Positive values move the pie origin to the right. The values are a percentage of the width of the range. |
• |
Vertical offset — determines the vertical origin of the effect. Negative values move the pie origin up. Positive values move the pie origin down. The values are a percentage of the height of the image. |
• |
Rotation angle — affects which edges appear light and shadowed. The needle points to the direction of the light source, measured in degrees of rotation around the circle. |
• |
Scale factor — controls how much of the pie-shaped area is enlarged or reduced when you create the kaleidoscope pattern. As you decrease the scale, the pattern repeats itself more frequently. |
• |
Number of petals — determines the repetitions of the pattern. The number of repetitions controls the width of the pie. When you enter a lower value, the arc is repeated fewer times. |
• |
Radial suction — controls where in the pie the image information is used to create the pattern. As you increase the value, this area is pushed toward the outer edge of the pie. |
• |
Wrap — treats the image as though it were a tile repeating in each direction |
• |
Repeat — finds the edge pixel of each side and repeats it outward infinitely |
• |
Color — lets you choose a color to represent out-of-bounds pixels. You can click the color box to access the Color dialog box, or right-click the color box to access the Recent Colors dialog box. |
• |
Reflect — reflects the edge pixel on each side |

The Pattern effect turns any image or selection into an intricate geometric pattern. You can use these patterns to create seamless tiles for the background of your Web page. You can access the Pattern dialog box by choosing Effects Reflection Effects Pattern.
The Pattern dialog box contains the following controls:
• |
Horizontal offset — determines the horizontal origin of the effect. Negative values move the origin to the left. Positive values move the origin to the right. The values are a percentage of the width of the range. |
• |
Vertical offset — determines the vertical origin of the effect. Negative values move the origin up. Positive values move the origin down. The values are a percentage of the height of the image. |
• |
Rotation angle — affects which edges appear light and shadowed. The needle points to the direction of the light source, measured in degrees of rotation around the circle. |
• |
Scale factor — controls the size of the pattern. The default of 0 uses the original scale of the image. As you decrease the scale, the pattern repeats itself more frequently. |
• |
Number of columns — sets the number of times the pattern is repeated from the left side to the right side of the image at a scale factor of 0 |
• |
Number of rows — sets the number of times the pattern is repeated from the top to the bottom of the image at a scale factor of 0 |
• |
Horizontal shift — moves the pattern with the image window. You can place a specific section of the pattern at the center. You can use this box along with the Scale factor box to create a seamless pattern. |
• |
Vertical shift — moves the pattern with the image window. You can place a specific section of the pattern at the center. You can use this box along with the Scale factor box to create a seamless pattern. |

The Rotating Mirror effect reflects an image or selection along a radial angle. You can access the Rotating Mirror dialog box by choosing Effects Reflection Effects Rotating Mirror.
The Rotating Mirror dialog box contains the following controls:
• |
Horizontal offset — moves the center point of the reflection line away from the image center. The value is a percentage of the width of the image. Negative horizontal values move the reflection line to the left, while positive values move it to the right. The horizontal offset does not affect horizontal lines. |
• |
Vertical offset — moves the center point of the reflection line away from the image center. The value is a percentage of the height of the image. Negative values raise the reflection line, and positive values lower it. The vertical offset does not affect vertical lines. |
• |
Rotation angle — sets the angle of the rotation line. The angle corresponds to the degrees of a circle, so entering 0 and 180 creates reflection along a vertical line. Entering 90 and 270 creates reflection along a horizontal line. You can create diagonal lines between the corners by entering 45, 135, 225, and 315. |

Wrap — treats the image as though it were a tile repeating in each direction |
• |
Repeat — finds the edge pixel of each side and repeats it outward infinitely |
• |
Color — lets you choose a color to represent out-of-bounds pixels. You can click the color box to access the Color dialog box, or right-click the color box to access the Recent Colors dialog box. |
