Symmetrical Photos - Free Photoshop Action

Thursday August 28, 2003
I came across this site where you can see a randomly displayed symmetrical photo from a database of thousands of images. [Twexus: Symmetry] I thought the symmetrical presentation was an interesting way to display photos, so I went and whipped together a free Photoshop action for creating this effect.

The symmetry action enlarges the canvas and then duplicates and mirrors the original image vertically and horizontally to create symmetry. Try cropping the original in an unusual way before running the action for some interesting results. Compatible with Photoshop 6.0 and higher. An example is shown below. Click the image to go to the download page.
