- "Whirl and Pinch" distorts your image in a concentric way.
- </p>
- <p>
- "Whirl" distorts the image much like the little whirlpool that
- appears when you empty your bath.
- </p>
- <p>
- "Pinch" can be compared to applying your image to a soft rubber
- surface and squeezing the edges or corners. If the Pinch amount
- slider is set to a negative value, it will look as if someone
- tried to push a round object up toward you from behind the
- rubber skin. If the Pinch amount is set to a positive value, it
- looks like someone is dragging or sucking on the surface from
- behind, and away from you.

- Changes to parameters are immediately displayed into the

- center of the current layer or selection.

- <span class="guilabel">Whirl Angle</span>: Clockwise or counter
- clockwise (-360 to +360). Controls how many degrees the
- affected part of the image is rotated.
- </p>
- <p>
- <span class="guilabel">Pinch Amount</span>: Whirlpool depth(-1 to
- +1). Determines how strongly the affected part of the
- image is pinched.
- </p>
- <p>
- <span class="guilabel">Radius</span>: Whirlpool width (0.0-2.0).
- Determines how much of the image is affected by the
- distortion. If you set <i class="parameter"><tt>Radius</tt></i> to
- 2, the entire image will be affected. If you set
- <i class="parameter"><tt>Radius</tt></i> to 1, half the image will
- be affected. If <i class="parameter"><tt>Radius</tt></i> is set to 0,
- nothing will be
- affected (think of it as the radius in a circle with 0 in
- the center and 1 halfway out).
