Help finding an old post on UHH
Jan 25, 2015 20:08:23 #
Quite a while back (I am just guessing here but likely 2 years or more ago) I ran across a post on here where the original poster did something he called "Flower in the round". I set up an action in PS automating those steps and used it periodically for a specific shot. In any event I have not used it in quite a while and it appears to no longer be in my actions collection. I have tried the search function to find that topic again so I can re-record the steps but haven't located it. If anyone knows who did that post or what those steps were and can point me to the right location I would be grateful. Thanks in advance.

You could try the search feature. They do have older posts in 'storage' as far back as 2011. That is about all I can offer. Try searching for Photoshop flowers, techniques, or something like that. ("Flower in the round" didn't come up with much, I tried :()

Try google rather than the 'search' field within the website. Include the web address and the search text such as: uglyhedgehog.com flower in the round
Of course, this returned 8400+ entries, but you might have some luck ...

Now look what you've done! :)
I just spent three hours playing around with this. Cool effect, thanks!

I really like the swirled wheat. Very neat effect

Shoot, I knew that one, just not by that name. It's set right in my Elements 12. Have some fun occasionally. :lol: :lol:

I asked the same question a few days ago and got these links.

Try searching flowers as Orbs. My avatar is an example, and what you posted is how to do it.
