Choosing a suitable photo
Any panorama can be turned into a good little planet world. But if you are serious about making a perfect panorama world,you have to consider the following points carefully:
1.The viewing angle:Actually a 360 degree panorama works best for the little planet as the edge line up perfectly.
2.The Image Width: The wider image to produce the smoother surface planet while a narrow images produce a height variation.
3. sky - sky will be severely
distorted in the final image. A clear sky tends to produce the best
results, although clouds can give an interesting, stretched effect.
4. ground - The bottom of a photo will be
squashed together to form the center of the planet, and this can lead to
some extreme distortion. As with the sky, a flat color or simple
texture such as grass, sand or water looks best.
5. The horizon - needs to be perfectly level so the
edges of the picture meet neatly. If yours don't then you can easily
rotate and re-crop in Photoshop.
Procedures:

1. First we need to square the image.Load your panorama image with photoshop and then go to Image>Image Size Uncheck "Constrain Proportions" and set the height to match the width.
