7. Rotate (Rotate90CW.png) the image clockwise (Image -> Rotate 90° Clockwise or Ctrl+H). Repeat (Ctrl+F) the Wind effect (in this case, the Wind effect with the From the right direction will be applied). 

 

8. Repeat step 5 by selecting From the Left direction for the Wind effect.

The filter requires an Adobe file (Plugin.dll). This file is bundled with many 32-bit Adobe products, but it cannot be redistributed.

Thanks for the clarification, @null54, I'll fix the tutorial.

Finally got around to doing this tutorial @ReMake.  Good one!   (P.S. I did the Render-->Clouds 3 times as original tut says.)
