The Silicon Mirror and Moe's Image Viewer

Even though the Internet is an incommensurable source of images to use as a wallpaper, there are times when your search is either not specific enough or you simply want to leave your mark on your desktop and prefer to have a contribution to the said picture.
The Silicon Mirror and Moe's Image Viewer is a tool that gives you a helping hand in this sort of situation, being a fun way to create kaleidoscope images based on a photo of your choice.

Features intuitively placed controls

The program sports an approachable interface that at first introduces the program as an image viewer. Before anything else, what you need to do is load a photo from your personal collection, then open the Silicon Mirror, which prompts you with a new window acting as the very kaleidoscope.

Tweak the kaleidoscope and its mirrors to create beautiful designs

This new window basically acts as a mirror you can position in a multitude of ways so that it reflects the underneath image from the most suitable angle. You can establish a reflection angle from the top left or right as well as from the bottom left or right and experiment with the kaleidoscope until you get the desired effect.
Moving the secondary window is all it takes to start creating kaleidoscope effects based on the image you settled on. In case you would like your designs to be even more intricate, you can go to the “Stacking” menu and indicate whether you want to use a single image as the foundation of your design or open multiple tiles in the background.
As for the Silicon Mirror itself, you are enabled to indicate the number of reflections you see on your image, with your options ranging from four to twelve.

Nifty tool that lets you distort and reimagine your pictures

On an ending note, The Silicon Mirror and Moe's Image Viewer is a fun tool that lets you exploit your images with the help of a kaleidoscope whose mirrors you can operate as you see fit. The program is easy to use, and previewing your designs is done in real time, so before saving your images, you can be sure that you have made all the appropriate adjustments.
