This section of the web site describes methods and considerations when interplaying an image with three reflections of itself. I call this a reflected-three-times interplay.

General Guidelines

1) First create three flipped versions of the image.

2) I have only tried merging each image equally. To do this I combine the original image and the first flipped image equally using layers and opacity in Photoshop (call it merge 1), then I combine the second and third flipped images equally (call it merge 2) and then I combine the images merge 1 and merge 2 equally.

3) I usually use Split Channel Mode because processing a combination of flipped images like this in single channel mode tends to make the image dull. You can pop the colors using Split Channel Mode.

4) Always Lucis-process the image with the Processing Scan Lines set to 50 to reduce the likelihood that radial line artifacts will occur, unless creating these radial lines is the effect you want to produce. Unless otherwise stated the number of Processing Scan Lines was set to 50 for all image examples.

An examples from my personal InterplayArt web site is Alligator.
