Mini-Worlds

To create these images I’m following the instructions in the 27 February 2009 edition of MacUser UK. In short, the instructions are:

1. Start with a panoramic image
2. In Photoshop, resize it to a square image (I’m using 5000×5000)
3. Invert the image (rotate 180 degrees)
4. Apply the Filter>Distort>Polar Coordinates with the “Rectangular to Polar” option selected
5. Spend the rest of the time cleaning up the joins!
