Twirl effects
The Twirl filter twists an image around its center to create interesting spiral distortions.
To apply the Twirl filter:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Select Preview to see the effects of the current settings before applying the filter to the
image.
4. Click OK to apply the settings and close the dialog box.
