Kalidescope

[Speedie]

Hi,
This has probably already been done to death but I'm fascinated by the kalidescope effect in Paintshop Pro. Here are some before and after shots of some uninteresting photos I took, transformed in a couple of clicks into beautiful shapes. I guess they don't have much artistic merit simply because "the computer did it"! Any thoughts?

Some shots turn out really well, others turn out like garbage. It's neat to see what it will turn out like. The city one looks pretty cool.
