Inspiration and even concrete ideas often come when doing something completely different, even fully unrelated to your work.

Within a few clicks in Photoshop, you can have your very own planet!
All you need is:
- Photoshop
- An Image (panoramic)
- Some Skill*
Follow the steps below. (starting from image two)
Step 1 - Get your panoramic image. There are programs that allow you to seamlessly connect images if your camera does not support this function.
Step 2 - Turn your image into a square. Go to Image > Image Size, and uncheck ‘Constrain Properties’ and set the “height” value
to the same value as your “width” value.
Step 3 - Flip your image. Go to Image > Rotate Canvas, and select "180 Degrees".
Step 4 - Apply the "Polar Coordinates" filter. Go to Filter > Distort > Polar Coordinates, and select "Rectangular to Polar".
Step 5 - Tweak your image. From here your on your own : )
