    If you could replicate this easily in Photoshop, you should be able to do it in GIMP or Paint.NET, too. They are free.

This effect is called a kaleidoscope effect (or Busby Berkeley effect in film). To add to user287001's comment, GIMP and Paint.net are great free options if you're comfortable using Photoshop. Another app you can check out is called PicsArt, which has a pretty specific tutorial on the kaleidescope effect here. Here's a few more examples if you search this term on Google:

  • Hi zeethreepio. Can I draw your attention to this discussion on meta? We are trying to decrease the amount of lazy 'tutorial-on-demand' questions on the site, and one of the early signs is that answering them isn't a good idea. I'd appreciate your input on the matter. Thanks!
