Gradient Kaleidoscope Tile Samples

I've collected all our samples and displayed them here with a review of the steps taken to accomplish each tile.  If you click on each of the tiles, EXCEPT Tile 1, you will be able to see how each of them looks as a web page background.

TILE 1 - We applied the Spiky Halo effect to our original gradient.  This tile, however, is the only tile that is NOT tileable as it is.

TILE 2 - We took Tile 1 and copied and pasted it into a larger 400 x 400 image, mirroring and flipping each of the other three sections as we went, and then selecting the center 200 x 200 pixels and croping the image to that size.

TILES 3 & 4 - For Tile 3, we applied the Kaleidoscope effect to Tile 1.  For Tile 4, we made a copy of Tile 3 and then copied and pasted it into each of the 4 corners of a larger 400 x 400 image, and then selecting the center 200 x 200 pixels and croping the image to that size.  Since we used Tile 3 to create Tile 4, you will notice that they look almost identical when tiled as a web page background, but may look different when using them to fill the background of a smaller image.

TILE 5 - We went back to Tile 2 and made a copy of it, and applied the Kaleidoscope effect, creating the same tile that appears at the top of the first page of this tutorial.
