I started with an exit sign above some fall colors at the end of my hallway:

Then I did a polar coordinate distortion, 180 rotate, polar, rotate, and finished with a spherical distortion.

I also took an image of a surfer and did a single polar distortion on him. Then I cropped it off- center and adjusted some levels, color saturation, and since the distortion made it look like he had a hump, I cloned that out.

This is fun! Thank you for starting this thread! I would also like to add that I have Photoshop Elements 3.0 so you do not need the full version to do this!

I've moved on from flowers to tennis. This could be habit forming. |

This one was three birds, but two remained visible after distorting it a few times.

That one is cool. Without the birds it looks like a native carving from a totem pole. Or two sleeping heads facing each other. |

This one is my favorite so far. It started out as a zygo or Christmas Cactus blossom. I could not possibly remember the steps I used to achieve it, but an assortment of rotations and distortions. I did do a little cloning to clean up one area and some levels. The colors are brilliant! The original background was grey so I am not sure where the blue came from.

I tied the polar coordinates in PSP but didn't like it as much as the circular effect. I started this one with a transparent background then selected Warp under the circular options.

Isn't it just?
I don't know if anyone looked at all 52 of mine linked in the first post but I did ALL of those in ONE session on learning the easy technique!
I went through my entire digital photo collection looking for images that might work well for this.
And I thought the same, Zippy, about some of these images reminding me of old spherical glass paper weights.

That's fab, but would you amend your description - definitely not my technique - I was just told about it by a friend who was told about it by one of his friends...
I don't mind you saying that you're using the technique Kav told you about but just feel uncomfortable with you calling it mine...
:o)
Ta, babes! |

Has anyone tried doing it twice on the same image?

Ben, yeah someone has, I think either in this thread someone mentioned it, or in a thread on another forum where there's a thread on it...
But yeah! |
