Tiny Planet photography
This was an impressive little photo I saw on a photography page when I was looking for panorama 360’s. It is quite an easy thing to do with Photoshop after you have created a panorama. The panorama takes a lot of work especially if you have a hundred or so picture’s to deal with at the beginning. But when the hard work is complete you tiny planet photography should take 4 easy steps:
Take your HDR panorama 360 like I have described in a previous post. Bring you image to Photoshop,
- Resize your image/pictures so it is a square.
- Rotate you picture so it is upside down.
- Apply the polar coordinates filter (Filter~Distort~Polar Cordinates) and make sure “rectangular to polar” is selected (ticked)
- Perform any post process you like to the picture and your done.
Simple but effective to produce a different view of your work.

Awesome how you did that from your drone. There are also plenty of (free) apps that could turn any 360 photo into a tiny planet. For the people that can't afford photoshop ;)
I agree lots of free apps out there too. I personally like GIMP it’s like photoshop but an open source program that’s free. https://www.gimp.org
Yes, I use GIMP myself. But it's a bit overdone to create a tiny planet ;) Just search your phone app store for tiny planet and there will be plenty of apps that do it for you. Even if you don't have a perfect 360.
