In this GIMP 2.10.24 tutorial I show you the Recursive Transform filer - a built-in tool that allows you to recursively transform any layer. Essentially you can perform repeat transformations for some amazing effects and compositions. Create your layer, define the number of iterations, choose your colors and other settings, and you've got yourself some amazing results! See why this is such a great filter unique to GIMP (not found in premium software like Photoshop).
