Hello, I'm trying to make the black center of this flower smaller or extend the outer portion (stretch but not enlarge). I've searched but can't find my answer. Can any explain how I can do this? Thank you.

Try it with the warp transform tool> shrink area
Or maybe it will work with liquid rescale

Is this the sort of thing you want?

It was done with Jappaloe63's suggestion of using the Warp Transform tool with Shrink area. I used a round brush size approx. 260, set the Stroke to Periodically and just held the left mouse button down in the centre of the image while it shrunk. Obviously it will look better without the selection dashed lines.

Indeed, Whirl and Pinch plugin (sans Whirl) would be the way to go. :)
