Remove white lines

Brought in a wood texture image and applied kaleidoscope mapping.

Any way to remove white lines it creates ?

I tried it and don't get the white lines.

I tried it with another pictore for 41.jpg (didn't have the original) and indeed, there are white lines now.

Thanks for trying

The third image in my post is the original .... it is a small image

Thanks for trying

I get white lines using your third image, but not always, depending on where the center (in the Location tab) was set.

Thanks for the update.

I will experiment with center adjustments

With the original picture 41.jpg, same result, with the white lines

Thanks for trying.

I'm finding through slight adjustments to center location(s) I can get them to go away ... but it does alter the design a little.

I got better results with a larger image, your first one.

I tried a different approach using a plugin style image construction. The result is not identical but pretty close to what you are after and there are no white lines:

If needed you can tweak the pattern/symmetry effect a little further with some micro adjustments to the Symmetry Centre co-ordinates in the Trap Position > Kaleidoscope plugin.

Here are the parameters:

Thanks very much Chris.

I can compare yours with mine and hopefully learn something.

I think it's a problem of image, use this image

Using your image in size 240X194 i also see the wihite lines but seems that the white color it's like an opacity because the image is too small and when the mapping is applyed doesn't work well because the image is small so the contours don't join, using your image you can add a layer before and use it like as the color opacity, i attach the parameters using the image at 240X194 but if you use my image that is 2672X2160 300DPI the white lines disappears.
Hope this help...
Ciao

I have tried larger textures and they do not produce the same problem

Thanks for your replys ...

Chris

With 2 screens open ... your input from above and my original.

Tried changing my settings to yours and can only get a solid dark blue rectangle.

Only thing I'm sure of is user error

I assume you are trying to reproduce the plugin image to see how it's put together? I'll admit it can be pretty tricky constructing something like this so don't worry if you find it difficult... I do too!

Without seeing your parameters I'm really not sure what you're missing, sorry. You might just have to pick through every single parameter and setting on the Outside tab to figure out what's wrong.

And just to be clear - I did use your small image, I just renamed it . So just navigate to where your image is when UF complains it can't find mine.

Yes trying to compare and make changes to my original using your settings.

Guess I didn't go deep enough or go through all.

Thanks for the explanation.
