WHAT IS A TINY PLANET? “Tiny planet photography uses the Polar Coordinates filter in Photoshop. The idea is to take a horizontal panorama and transform it into a sphere. It’s called a “tiny planet” photo because it looks like a miniature globe with a caricatured landscape or cityscapes on the surface. It’s a cool effect that looks like it needs lots of Photoshop know-how. But it’s easy and takes only a few steps to create a small world."-Expert Photography
