Im using photoshop CS4 and dont have "Polar Coordinates" only diffuse glow, glass and ocean ripple in the distort menu..  Have I misunderstood or am I missing something in photoshop?

It should be under filter >distort > polar coordinates First thing to check in CS4 is you can modify all the menus to show you different aspects of photoshop. There’s a drop down on the top right of the screen that shows what menu set you’re using, or you can access it from the windows > workspace options. I use essentials (which is the default and its there) Secondly polar coordinates only work in 8 bit mode so if you have a 16 bit image you’ll need to convert that to 8 bit first Hope this helps, I have a tutorial on this with some screen shots at www.panoplanets.com

Very nice! It works just as well in GIMP, and only took about a minute to set-up. It works best if you have a landscape composed of at least half-dozen frames.
