Photoshop “Saturation Twirl” Action
In a previous blog post I talked about some pieces of abstract stuff I had made in Photoshop while playing around some with different techniques I had recently learned that I called “Saturation Twirls” because that’s what they looked like, twirly things with lots of saturated colors. I later uploaded the best of them to devaintArt, you can view them here if you’d like.
And now comes the next thing in my frenzy of fascination for these things, the “one-click make your own” Photoshop Action macro! You can now download an Action for Photoshop that will basically make a Saturation Twirl for you, with one click. If you are not at all familiar with what Actions in Photoshop are, then I can say that they are like macros of commands in Photoshop that you can save. And if you aren’t familiar with what a macro is then… sorry I can’t really help you. But google is your friend in the quest for unlimited knowledge! Heres a preview of what the action will create.

Photoshop “Saturation Twirl”
I was experimenting in Photoshop with a technique i learned a while back with using Glowing Edges to make sun rays. But using it in this way instead of making rays of sunlight it made the illusion of depths and heights.
The technique itself is really easy and I was surprised by how great the results look. If you want to try this yourself here’s a easy step-by-step guide on how i did.
