How to Get a Twirl Effect on a Portrait
- 1). Launch Adobe Photoshop.
- 2). Click "File" and "Open As." Navigate to the portrait photo you want to edit and double-click it.
- 3). Click the "Filter" menu button, scroll down to "Distort" and click the "Twirl" option.
- 4). Adjust the angle bar. Any value below 0 will impose a left-leaning twirl, while any value above 0 will impose a right-leaning twirl. Note that the higher the value, the greater the twirl.
- 5). Click the "Okay" button to apply the changes.
