How to Make a Swirl in GIMP
The GIMP image editor supports a "whirl and pinch" effect that can create a distorted swirl in an image identical to that produced by the popular effect in Apple's Photobooth. GIMP can be downloaded free from the Gimp.org website, if you don't already have it installed on your computer. Use the settings in the Whirl and Pinch dialog box to change the radius and intensity of the swirl.
