well, you have to try this new toy. Read Chelidra's comment to mdawrcn's pic - the trick with playback.

it's soooo cool!
It run at best with kaleidoscopic pics, i.e. try these:

I noticed that different frequency of the clicks give very different results, and one has to find the optimal frequency for each pic.

thanks Chelydra!!

Enjoy, but - I warn you: it's heavy addicting!

The discovery wasn't mine, it came in a message from mdawrcn, and it was so cool I felt it had to enter the public domain.

I thought it was a pretty cool discovery. Thanks to both of you for making it known to everyone. You have got to try it.

I will repost instructions.

When looking at a kaleidoscope picture, push the play button many times in rapid succession. It changes the way it plays, then after you let it stop and push again, it plays really fast, making pic look more like a kaleidoscope.

Works on any picture. Have fun.

Just saw this conversation - had noticed the intermittent PB effect long ago, but didn't think of trying it on the kaleidoscopes. Thanks for gathering that bunch, Clo - lot's of fun.

while those was centrifugal, these are centripetal - mesmerizing!

...and if you keep clicking, it can have an inversion.

the white backgroud gives a sort of "blossoming" effect
