Ah I had found an article in a magazine that said to use free transform to change the size and rotate the image 180 degrees.

Hopefully this will help, this is how I do it in PS Elements 8, should be the same in most programs, give it a try, let me know?

For anyone wanting to try the globes, here are the directions again. Using PS, PSElements, or PaintShop Pro4, the are all the same process. These directions will get you done, but you can also try a few small variations of your own.

1. In PSElement open your image for processing.
2. FILTERS - DISTORT - POLAR COORDINATES, then change to POLAR to RECTANGLE the OK
3. In IMAGE go to ROTATE, then hit 180 degrees.
4. Go back to IMAGE - RESIZE - IMAGE RESIZE. Under Document Size, make the Width and Height 5 inches each and hit OK, this will creat a square. You can enlage the whole box if it's too small.
5. Go back to FILTERS - DISTORT - POLAR COORDINATES then change back to RECTANGULAR to POLAR and then OK, your image should be done.
Hopefully this will help, this is how I do it in P... (show quote)


OMG! Thank you! I have been trying to figure this out for ages!...You made my day! :-) Cheers!

What step did you take to make the buildings go to the inside?
I picked a couple of my pictures from the morning shoot with our club and tried my hand at it again. Great fun I must say!

This has been a very helpful site but I nearly missed it as The heading was just "Help Required". Nearly all questions in this forum are for help. If UHHs would give info. for what kind of help - "Help with ........" perhaps more people would look at it.

Can anyone please give the instructions for CS5 or are they the same for Elements?

I've only tried this sort of thing once so I am no expert but I think for a pic. like the one used here you need to pick one that has similar edges - right and left - so that they merge and you don't get that contrasting straight line.

Jim, I have made quite a few of these things after seeing them posted on UHH. The ones that turned out like yours were because I didn't crop the image to a square proportions like 5X5 or 8X8. Check this YouTube site...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XGLNAf3818


Oh my! This just keeps getting better! The video is excellent too! Thanks for the link! Cheers
