Looking through some old Elements Village bookmarks I noticed one from 2007 by "Wendy" on "making an orb", Being curious, I tried it and came up with this image. Anyone want to guess what the original image was; or post your own "Orb" for us to guess at? Might be fun. Here is Wendy's tutorial: Making an Orb ... I can't find the instructions ... it was Betty that first posted them and I just converted them into an action. I have sorted it out so Try this: Open up any image but make sure that it is only one layer then crop it inot a square .. Filter>Distort>Polar Co-ordinates>Polar to Rectangular Image>Rotate>Flip Horizontal Image>Rotate>Flip Vertical Filter>Distort>Polar Co-ordinates:>Rectangular to Polar ... and there you go Its pretty quick and easy to do ... and the action just automated it. Wendy

I don't know what your orb 'began life' as, but I'm guessing a cameo. Here's mine

And mine is a Brandy Old Fashioned Sweet. A quintessential Wisconsin drink, which I was recently reintroduced to during a visit there. They are pretty much impossible to find outside of Wisconsin.

Fun thread, Jim. Your rose is a beauty! I need to try something beyond wine and beer, Janice. Fun orb. Here's mine. I used Wendy's action which was shared in a FB group that I'm in.
