Now use Filter > Distort > Polar coordinates menu option to make concentric illustration. Polar Coordinates converts a selection from its rectangular to polar coordinates, and vice versa, according to a selected option. You can use this filter to create a cylinder anamorphosis — an art form popular in the 18th century — in which the distorted image appears normal when viewed in a mirrored cylinder. ;)
Do right-click on layer (if you don’t see layer panel press F7 to turn it on) and select Select transparency from drop-down menu. Select Edit > Transform > Distort menu option and use right-top control point to add 3D effect by moving it on left.
Go to Image > Image size menu option and set image’s dimensions to 1000 x 1000.
Use Select > Select all menu and Copy (CTRL + C) and paste it in first document (select first document and press CTRL + P).
