Can someone help me by telling me what filter is applied in the image

[therellik]

Hello,

I am trying to find the name of the filter used in the image I am attaching to this message. I got as close as a filter with name "polar coordinates" but its not it.

Any help would be greately appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

That is impossible to tell, but could you be looking for
>Image> Adjustments>Threshold?

What does the "before" image look like.

Impossible to tell...... but it looks like a kaleidoscope effect. I think I have one somewhere.... let me look for that........

Sorry but I really don't know.

Thanks, I have tested several kaleidoscope filters but the result is different.

I believe its a seamless tile pattern that joins the letf and right side of the same image and wraps it up until both sides are touching, but shrinking the top side of the pattern at the same time. Same as wraping a piece of paper around a cone. And finally adds a twist to the whole thing. Here is an image of the steps that I think its applied in the filter.

Ok, I think I got it with 2 filters.
The first image is the seamless texture; the second image shows the "Polar coordinates" filter aplied (note the thin white line which indicates the left side of the texture touching the opposite end); the last image shows the twirl filter applied.
This is pretty close, please comment.

Your right it's not a kaleidoscope filter. None in my collection worked.

Your findings are sound but I don't know. It's quite hard to say until we can find or reproduce the original tile.


As an experiment, I tried reverting your last image back to the second image you made with the twirl filter but in reverse and I came up with this....




as you can see, it reverted.

But with the image in question....




No matter what I do to get the red guide line straight, I don't get any pattern at all. It distorts even more. Most especially the arcs going the opposite way of the twirl.

I'm not saying your wrong..... I might be wrong with my reverse engineering...... BUT....

This is a doozy... I would love to know the answer to this. Must experiment with a different approach.

Staring at it, I can't help but imagine a maze pattern...... must try recreate the maze pattern I see in there..... and it's just one repeated piece...........
