pretty cool all up.

How did u do it?

julies517 · Feb 7, 2006, 5:54 PM

that is an amazing circle! in photoshop: crop a square from your image, go to filter-distort-polar coordinates, select polar to rectangular. rotate image 180 degrees, go to filter-distort-polar coordinates again, this time choose rectangular to polar. this is a fun trick, play with different photos and crops but beware- it can be addicting!

OH No here we go again with those Circles LOL, My brother is still hooked on that Julie. :blah:

Alex that came out very nice

That looks so beautiful. Wish I can get hold on to it!

hi all just a bit of fun. just follow what julies typed your photo should come out the same. It works much better with an high res photo.

Alex :-)

BTW- alex, your circle looks terrific- worked out really well

Alex, this is a cool shot. The effect works really nicely with this subject - the distortion of the buildings is intriguing.

I tried this before when Julie mentioned it previously but I never managed to get an effect like that - obviously using the wrong photos. As LadyHawk said, the buildings are intriguing.
