Polar Coordinates is found in the Filter Palette. There are only two variations on the theme I believe. You can always use F1 for help whilst in Photoshop if you are stuck.

you cant just apply the effect... theres more to it. |

It's not too hard. Create a square document (not rectangular). Then make a horizontal line somewhere in the top half of the document and apply the Polar Coordinates filter, using the "Rectangular to Polar" option. The line should become a circle. You can apply this same principle to to other images. The horizontal length of the line affects how much of the circle it fills; the verticle width of the line affects how thick the donut is. How high up the line is affects the radius of the circle. Now just experiment with applying these principles to other images and you'll be on your way to creating images like the one in the tutorial.
