Layers Chart: Click to view.
Tutorial Map: Click to view.

Page 5. Adjust location.

Step 8. Adjust location.

At this point I originally applied the Kaleidoscope transformation and then adjusted the location, panning (Ctl-drag) and zooming (Shift-drag) until I found what I was looking for.

I'm reversing the operation for this tutorial, adjusting the location first and then applying the Kaleidoscope transformation, because I feel it will better retrace my steps.

You can copy my location, comprising all the location parameters, including "Magnification".

Highlight and copy (Ctl-c) the block of text located here to the clipboard, then, in the Location tab, click the Paste icon. This will paste the location I used into your "star" layer.

The image should now look like this:

The image is now ready for application of the Kaleidoscope transformation, to create the soft core and radiating arms of the bright superstar/sun.
