Twirl a specific area of an image

When you click or drag an area in your image with the Twirl tool, it rotates the areas inside the brush around in a circle, creating a twirl. You can use Twirl to add a wavy look to an image, create twirls, or other artistic effects.

   • In the Tools sidebar, click Twirl or choose if from the grouped tools.
   • Choose Tools > Reshape > Twirl from the Tools menu at the top of your screen.
2. In the Tool Options pane, customize the Twirl tool:
   1. Brush Size: Drag the Brush Size slider to adjust the size of the Twirl tool brush. Press and hold the Option ⌥ key to extend the range of the Brush Size slider beyond 100%. You can also manually enter a value from 0% to 200%.

   2. Strength: Drag the Strength slider to adjust the intensity of the twirling effect.

   3. Twirl Right: Click to twirl the area clockwise.
   4. Twirl Left: Click to twirl the area counterclockwise.
