An article on digital panoramas got me playing around with some of my mobile phone panoramas.
Banjo Pier and East Looe beach.
Banjo Pier and Looe river.
Half planet panorama - Low tide East Looe beach.
Wallace beach at the Western end of Hannafore.
Nice 2015 Carvival Roi de la Musique fireworks.
It is relatively easy to create a planet panorama.
When you are happy with your panorama, the technique is to resize your panorama into a square and apply a distort filter.
1. - on the image size dialogue change the height value to match the length and uncheck constrain proportions, This creates a distorted square image
2. - flip this image vertically
3. - use the filter distort menu to select polar co-ordinates and check the rectangular to polar option
4. - use the clone tool to tidy up the straight edge join
fianlly - enjoy experimenting
