Version Two

This is a new tutorial, a "revised" version of our wonderful imager Jean's original one:FINGERPRINT SWIRL

In hers, she had varied ways to do the technique and, at times, it became somewhat hard to decipher what to use where and when. Hopefully ours will give you a more straight-forward and successful way to tackle this awesome effect.
