Twirl Effects
Twirl Effects
The Twirl filter twists an image around its center to create interesting spiral distortions.
To Apply the Twirl Filter:
- Select a paint object. To limit the effect to a particular area, select the area where you want to apply the filter. If you don’t make a selection, the filter affects the entire image.
- Choose Image | Filter | Other | Twirl.
- Adjust the Angle settings in the Twirl dialog box. The Angle value specifies the direction and extent of the effect. Type a number in the box or drag the slider to set the Angle value. Higher numbers (positive or negative) create more twists around the center. A positive number twirls clockwise. A negative number twirls counter-clockwise. Select No Anti-Alias to turn off smoothing of edges in the image.
- Select Preview to see the effects of the current settings before applying the filter to the image.
- Click OK to apply the settings and close the dialog box.
