***NOTE: NyghtMoves is the creator of this technique. However, her tutorial and examples were deleted some time ago. Therefore, I am archiving the concept. The work and the examples below originate from me. I hope you find this helpful if you are first learning "SWIRL" or 'IMPLODE" both are a unique combination if you have never seen this formula used before. -SpanishLady Rider


HI, THIS IS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT
MAKING A TUTORIAL, SO BEAR WITH ME.
I HAD A LOT OF FUN MAKING THIS IMAGE
AND I'M SURE YOU WILL ENJOY THE RESULTS YOU GET WITH
SWIRL/IMPLODE
TOO. THE DIFFERENT LOOKS YOU CAN GET
WHEN DOING SWIRL/IMPLODE ON A GRAPHIC
ARE COUNTLESS. I WILL SHOW YOU THE
MAGIC YOU CAN DO ON A SIMPLE FACE....;D

FIRST I TOOK THIS IMAGE TO IMAGE
MAGICK, I PASTED IT IN THE
URL BOX AND I CLICKED ON VIEW...
THIS IS THE ORIGINAL GRAPHIC...;D



THEN I WENT TO FX.....
HERE'S THE GRAPHIC WITH
FX/SWIRL @2500

***NOTE YOU CAN ADJUST THE PARAMETER #'S
TO FIT YOUR GRAPHIC



I CLICKED ON FX AGAIN AND.....
FX/IMPLODE @ -2
FX/IMPLODE @+1
FX/IMPLODE @+1
NOTICE HOW THE IMPLODE GIVES
THE CENTER OF THE GRAPHIC
A FEATHERED LOOK



I THEN WENT TO COMPOSITE AND I
COMPOSITE/DIFFERENCE WITH ORIGINAL
GRAPHIC



AS A FINISHING TOUCH, YOU CAN
PUT ANY FRAME YOU'D LIKE ON YOUR
IMAGE,LIKE I DID.

MULTI BABE FINISHED WITH FRAME:





HERE IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF

OF THE MAGIC YOU CAN CREATE

WITH SWIRL/IMPLODE:

ORIGINAL:



FX/SWIRL @1000



FX/IMPLODE @-2
FX/IMPLODE @+1

COMPOSITE/MULTIPLY



I DID SOME ENHANCE WORK
AND PUT A FRAME ON IT.
LIFE LIGHT FINISHED:




OUR VERY OWN BETTI MADE A MISTAKE WITH THE PARAMETER NUMBERS, SHE USED A PLUS SIGN INSTEAD OF A MINUS ON THE IMPLODE AND GOT A VERY PLEASANT SURPRISE. CHECK IT OUT....;D
