A Twirl is created by a certain sequence of steps in manipulating an image. The more colorful the image, the more colorful the twirl. I have a blog post that tells how I did my collection of twirls here. […]

I just left your site moments ago as I saw your link to my page. Great collection of images.

I need a new calendar (mine expires at the end of the month). I think I’ll create a bunch of new twirls and have a whole year of twirls on the side of our refrigerator. 🙂

I use SIlver Efex too. In Color Efex I like some of the vintage filters for arty shots, while the colour contrast settings are worth experimenting with. I sometimes add a shot of brightness with the reflector effect or sunshine, and there’s a good range of options on vignettes too 🙂

Thanks, and glad to see others enjoying my work in converting the process from Photoshop to Elements. I know there are a lot of Elements users who “get short-shrift” on YouTube videos. >grin<
I will check out your twirl. They are a fascinating way to pass the time.

On Nik, I've mostly used Silver Efex routinely for black and white conversions, but occasionally use some of the other modules for special effect as well.
