9. Macro – close up Photography Theme: Winter

19. 1. Turn your image into a square. Go to the menu Image > Image Size . Uncheck the ‘Constrain Proportions’ option. Change the height and the width of the image to match each other. Eg. 1000px by 1000px. This creates a square. 2. Flip your image 180 degrees. Go to the menu Image > Rotate Canvas > Rotate 180 . 3. Add the Polar Coordinate effect. Go to the menu Filter > Distort > Polar Coordinates . Ensure the radio button for ‘Rectangular to Polar’ is selected. Press ok. 4. You now have your Photoshop Globe Planet. You will notice a seam line from where the image has been joined. To remove this select the Clone tool and airbrush the seam out by cloning surrounding colours and objects on top of it. This is the most time consuming part of this project. Only save it when you are happy that you’ve sufficiently covered the seam line. Panoramic Globes
