Ok we've all seen a textured sphere's "pinching" at the polar ends. This is annoying, here's how we solve that.

Great tutorial, thanks for posting it. Until now, I had been using the Spherize filter on -100%, which of course is a little goofy.

This technique can be done in PSP 8 - there is a Polar Coordinates filter in Effects--Distortion Effects. Change the default to Polar to Rectangular to get the desired effect - all other steps are the same.
Cristiano PS - thanks for this great tip Spider! |

As for everything created prior to the death and resurrection of the forums, the images were purged. Look at the date will tell you that. My suggestion, PM the orginal poster, see if they have the images still.
