Hi jarhtmd

I am guessing that you sticking point is creating the square canvas in which to do all the other manipulations so I will focus only on that step and if you need more you can always jump in to indicate that was not all you needed.

Here are the steps that should get you that square canvas

1) Load image into PS and convert that background Layer into a regular Layer

2) Duplicate the first Layer so you have tow identical Layers

3) Take layer 2 and rotate it 90 degrees  e.g. Edit > Transform > Rotate 90 degrees counter clockwise

4)  Reveal the entire new canvas e.g. Image > Reveal All

You now have a square canvas to the size of the longest dimension and also two Layers two of the eight versions of the desired image.

Hope this gets you started
