Hello,

I have an image like that

I would like that all the arrow look at the center of the image.

I found a lot of tutorial for circular thing, but when it is this shape, I can't manage to make it work.


Can you help me ?

Filter > Distort > Polar Coordinates

You can see it gets flat towards the outside.

You could compensate to some extent by starting with an over size canvas, and Free Transform > Perspective, followed by flip vertically.

Then crop to a square that contains the pattern, and then running Polar C.

Whatever you start with, there is always going to be some distortion

I would rather call the pattern »zig-zag lines« instead of »arrows«.

How do you want them to behave regarding distance from center?

Please post a sketch or a screenshot to clarify your intention for this.

Like a stadium mt-bank-stadium-sections-507-515-in-sun.jpg

Every arrow will be turned to look at the center.

I had hoped for a more meaningful explanation.
