Instructions

Screenshots
1. Open graphic, duplicate, close original. I used this art "A Moment in Time" by Jess Hager.  Resize to 300 X 300, aspect ratio unchecked.
2. Go to Effects or Filters, depending on your program>Redfield>Jama 3D, click on the dropdown menu and choose Front Bricks, default settings except change the Brightness Ratio to 70 and the Light Boosting to 65.
Click apply.
*NOTE: I just updated my Jama 3D and the Front Bricks setting wasn't in the list, so I recreated it, and saved it. Click here to see how to recreate the Front Bricks preset.

 
It should look like this now.
3. Crop around the resulting picture to get rid of the outer edges, like this (see picture).
Resize back up to 300X300, aspect ratio unchecked.
 

4. Go to Effect>Simple>Zoom out and flip, it should look like this.
5. Go to Effect>Simple>Pizza slice mirror, it should now look like this.
6. Go to Effect>Simple>Quick Tile, it should now look like this
7. reduce opacity for a lighter effect
In PI go to Edit>Fill, white at 25% transparency
In PSP, right click in layer palette>new raster layer. Fill with fill tool, white, reduce opacity in layer to 75%
In Photoshop: Layer>New>Layer, then using the Paint Bucket tool, fill with white, go to the layer palette and reduce opacity to 75%

To recreate the Front Bricks settings in Jama 3D, adjust all the settings as shown, then click on the dropdown menu at the bottom of the window, click on "Save User Preset" and give it the name Front Bricks. The Diamond shaped diagram at the top, with the settings 25-25 is a little hard to get right but just pull it into this shape and you will see the numbers getting close. Make sure you choose 25 and not
-25.
