John Howard Loc: SW Florida and Blue Ridge Mountains of NC.

I created this image on my phone from a small crop of a large raw file converted to jpg. Further crop, duplicate and then some flip and rotate. Used an app to combine into one image. If I could do this in Photoshop I could get a larger file for printing. Only use Lightroom currently so would appreciate some feedback on how to do it in Photoshop or maybe getting pointed toward an instruction video. If interested, this tiny crop is from a photo of Elk River Falls in NC. Thanks for any feedback.

I like PS ....I'm not sure I understand what you want to do?
You flopped and repeated images...right? BTW cool shot!

I made this attached by shooting the underside of a steel bridge in Chicago then flop and repeat like 8 times.
Actually it is a simple exercise in PS Layers....and very easy to do in PS.

For learning PS and LR I like , Matt Kloskowski

IMO Photoshop is worth learning. There is so much you can do and control with Layers and Selections.

Can PS CC (or other programs) do that?
Crop - yes
Duplicate - yes
Flip - yes
Rotate - yes
All within a single edit file
Enlarge (resize) - yes
LR surely can do that too. These are simple manipulations, nothing fancy. How? I have no clue, I do not use LR.

PS CC, If I understanding what you did....

Create a document 2 and a half times original transparent background (250% the original size)
Import your document (let's say upper left for simplicity - I assume the original is ready to be worked on)
Place this import onto the upper left quadrant, in the center
Duplicate the layer. (Ctrl-J)
Flip the layer horizontally (mirror image right become left)
Move the layers content to the upper right quadrant
Select both layers.
Duplicate both layers (Ctrl-J)
Make sure the two new layers are selected.
Flip the layers vertically (top become bottom)
Move layers down so that they are aligned with the ones above
Crop the excess from the new document.
Resize
Done.

Note: Rotate is not used - Not needed (unless the original is not straight).
Then do whatever.

Caveats:
- A phone while offering a greater quality than before is not capable of producing images that can be really enlarged, even if the viewing distance is a factor.
- Cropping an already small original does not help the first issue.
- If you plan more modifications never save as JPG, JPG should be the last save, not an intermediary step.

As to originality of the image?

Of course you can do that in PS.

I like the OP image. Its a very cool element it looks like a Moth.

yes and its pretty easy and fast to do

Mirroring can be quite handy at times. I deconstructed a leaflet (pdf files are great fun to play around with) underneath some graphic blocks i found the main image mirrored and butted up against the main image extending the background (theres a limit before it becomes unrealistic) for canvas wraps its not unusual to have enough image for the front but not for the sides mirroring on the sides can look quite effective and still be fairly subtle.

Simple answer, John, yes it can be done in photoshop.

Its pretty easy in photoshop. Under file, new and sized to twice the length or heigh of the image. Drag your image over in the orientation you want. Remember to flatten layer afterwards. Its a lot of fun but can be kind of gimmicky. I like this one I did years ago because of the optical illusion it created.

The newest phones create very high resolution images that can be significantly enlarged.

How about Perfect Resize (Genuine Fractals)? Is it any better than upsizing in PS or LR?

Simple answer, yes it can be done in Ps. The question is usually can it be done in Lr since if the feature is available it might be simpler, but there are many things that can only be done with Ps.

As many have said, yes you can do it in photoshop. I agree.

But then they didn’t answer your question as to how. Perhaps you could post your original using “store original” and they could do it, show their result, and list the steps they used.

I don’t believe you can do something like that in Lightroom. I use Lightroom a lot.

Yours looks unique. I just did the 4 steps and didn't crop in. But it's only a 4-sided Kaleidoscope. More sides would be better I think.
