Shuttle Enters Space

[Mark Fuge]

This image may be familiar to most of you, as it was just previously posted this weekend. But I thought it was appropriate for the Mini-World theme, so it is back!

Modification in PS4 and Topaz included; Topaz Adjust and Topaz Lens Effects, along with normal Photoshop image processing.

Enjoy!

Interesting post processing. What is a mini-world?

Interesting post processing. What is a mini-world?

Anita, a mini-world is created by the following;

First square the canvas, this is needed to have a clean line at the joint of the image when it is folded. The squarer the canvas the less work to clean up the end product, if it works at all out of square.

Then invert the canvas/image, rotating it 180 degrees. This will bring the bottom of the image into the center of the final image area, as desired.

Then go to PS Filter/Distort/Polar Coordinates. Set "Polar to Rectangular" to get the mini-world.

Then press enter ... PS will do the rest.

You should end up with an image in a square that looks like a small/mini world.

You can do any adjustments before and/or after running Polar Coordinates, as needed.

Some images work better than others, so you have to play with it and see what vision you find.

Good Luck!
