A popular photoshop plugin, [[Kai's Power Tools|KPT 6]], included a filter called 'KPT reaction'. Reaction produced [[Reaction diffusion|reaction-diffusion]] style patterns based on the supplied seed image.

A similar effect to 'kpt reaction' can be achieved, with a little patience, by repeatedly sharpening and then blurring an image in many graphics applications. If other filters are used, such as [[Embossing#EmbossingImage in image processingembossing|emboss]] or [[edge detection]], different types of effects can be achieved.

In addition, computers are often used to [[Computer simulation|simulate]] the biological, physical or chemical processes -described above- that lead to pattern formation, and they are then able to display the results in a realistic way (applications of virtual reality for Science). Calculations are based on the actual mathematical equations designed by the scientists to model the studied phenomena.
