That's a beaut Chilliz. ...and beautifully finished too.
I haven't tried this method yet but here's my version of a mini planet from a while back:
Full details are on the flickr photo page but it's basically a soapy bubble lit from above.
New York
Ok, after seeing Marcels efforts at using this technique on a Liverpool shot, I thought I would give it a go on a similar london picture.
I followed the same tutorial HERE and as a bit of fun its great. Not sure this is as good as Marcels effort THIS THREAD, but it was fun trying
The tutorial link appears dead, can anyone provide link, I am pulling my hair out with this at teh moment
Shoot a pano
Fix the ends so they're seamless when next to each other
Filter -> Distort -> Polar Co-ordinates (choose "Rectangular to Polar")
Adjust, click ok
Pretty much done.
Basically, just duplicate your layer.
Slide one over to the left so that the right hand side of that layer is in the middle of your canvas. Slide the other one over to the right until its left side meets up in the middle.
Make a new layer on top of those two and clone stamp/healing brush/etc. until you don't see a join line in the middle.
Then merge those 3 layers together, and shift it left and right as required to get features in the positions you want in the frame.
Once you've merged those three layers together, if you convert it to a smart object, and THEN do the Polar Co-ordinates filter, you can open up your original source, and adjust the framing of your pano without having to undo a bunch of times and re-apply the filter.

That just gave me a headache
If you're in Photoshop, CTRL+Shift+NOkay, that sounds good and exactly what I am after but I am afraid you have lost me at "make a new layer" :amstupid:
(Now pushing my luck!) How about a screenshot for each stage, I am sure many people would benefit from this
Doing it is quicker than typing out the instructions for it.
If you're in Photoshop, CTRL+Shift+N
I know how to do this, but don't happen to have any panos to hand at the moment to produce something, lol.
I'll have to head down to the river in a bit and see what I can do.
Edit : Oooh, I'll see what creative commons stuff is on Flickr.
