Polarflip 2.0 
 


Polar coordinate transforms can produce surreal, rather disturbing facial contortions. This was created by desaturating the original image, applying the Difference Clouds filter, followed by the Distort > Polar Coordinates > Rectangular-to-Polar transform and a 90° CW Canvas Rotate.

Compel 2.0 
 


This is a rather simple image, created by using Trace Edges > Invert > Variations (several steps "more orange") > Extrude, using 10x30 pyramids.

One of the eerier Faces, created using multiple filtering steps. After desaturating the original image and applying blue Difference Clouds and 8-level Cutout effects, I used the selection tool to highlight a mask-shaped area of the face and hands. Application of Distort > Ocean Ripple produced a synthetic watery effect. After deselecting the areas, the entire image was Difference Cloud and Inverted several times to produce the final result.

Colorwall 1.0 
 


AKA the Blair Office Project: the only alteration here is a Glowing Edges filter on the non-face part of the image.

The Scream 1.0 
 


After a long Photoshopping session, it's easy to get a raging case of the Edvard Munchies. Autolevels > Increase Saturation > Cutout (8 levels) > Shear Transform.
