Spherical Panos

 

These are two Spherical Panoramas I created using Photoshop by editing a 360 degree panorama photo. I first make the rectangular photo a square, then add a polar filter to the image to wrap one end to the other. Then I clean up the seams by using a spot brush that takes a sample of a clean part of an image and replaces the chosen area with the clean part. Then I create the fade effect around the edges by selecting around my spherical image and feathering it. These panoramas are in my Digital Sketchbook.
