This type of photograph is known as a <strong>stereographic projection<\/strong>  or &#8220;little planet&#8221; and, while you don&#8217;t see too many people doing it anymore, it seems like it was kind of popular a few years ago. I made a few of these back then, and since I&#8217;ve always liked them I&#8217;ve recently started making them again.<\/p>\n<p>To make this kind of art is actually pretty simple and requires only a couple of things: a great photograph and a copy of Adobe Photoshop or a similar image-editing program. The best stereographic projections use a type of picture called a 360-degree panorama. This means that the edge of one side of the panorama could be placed next to the opposite edge of the panorama and the two sides would form a continuous scene. These types of pictures are often created by standing in one place and taking continuous photographs while panning the camera in a 360-degree circle, then stitching the photos together in Photoshop or a similar program. Many smartphone cameras now have a panorama feature that makes this easier.<\/p>\n<p>So what do you do if you can&#8217;t get a 360-degree panoramic photograph? There are two options: either fake it by editing the image you have, or mirror the image. I have done both, and both options can provide great results.<\/p>\n<h2>Faking It<\/h2>\n<p>First, I want to show you how to fake it. I&#8217;ll use a copy of my photograph, <a href=\"https:\/\/fineartamerica.com\/featured\/hovenweep-k-bradley-washburn.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Hovenweep<\/strong><\/a>, taken at Hovenweep National Monument.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/fineartamerica.com\/featured\/hovenweep-k-bradley-washburn.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artisticimposter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Hovenweep.jpg\" alt=\"Hovenweep by K. Bradley Washburn\" width=\"818\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1021\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 20px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artisticimposter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/OffsetDialogBox-300x252.png\" alt=\"Photoshop Offset Dialog Box\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1027\" \/><\/div>\n<p>After opening the photograph in Photoshop, I will go to the &#8220;<strong>Filter<\/strong>&#8221; menu, scroll down to &#8220;<strong>Other<\/strong>,&#8221; and choose &#8220;<strong>Offset&#8230;<\/strong>&#8221; from the pop-out menu. In the &#8220;<strong>Horizontal<\/strong>&#8221; text field in the dialog box that pops up, I will type &#8220;<strong>1000<\/strong>&#8221; and click the &#8220;<strong>OK<\/strong>&#8221; button. My image will now look like this:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artisticimposter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Hovenweep_offset.jpg\" alt=\"Hovenweep Offset\" width=\"818\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1029\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I can now use the <strong>Clone Stamp<\/strong> tool to replace areas of the image along the seam so that the offset sides flow into each other without a noticeable difference. Since we are creating a stereographic projection the seam doesn&#8217;t have to be perfect, but I will still make it look really good. Once I am finished with that, my image will look like this:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artisticimposter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Hovenweep_cloned.jpg\" alt=\"Hovenweep Clone Stamped\" width=\"818\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1037\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can still see a couple of places where I could have tried to make it look better, but it will be fine in the final result. Now that I have erased the seam, I will go to the &#8220;<strong>Image<\/strong>&#8221; menu, scroll down to &#8220;<strong>Image Rotation<\/strong>,&#8221; and choose &#8220;<strong>180&deg;<\/strong>.&#8221; Back in the &#8220;<strong>Filter<\/strong>&#8221; menu, I will scroll down to &#8220;<strong>Distort<\/strong>,&#8221; and choose &#8220;<strong>Polar Coordinates&#8230;<\/strong>&#8221; In the dialog box, make sure the &#8220;<strong>Rectangluar to Polar<\/strong>&#8221; radio button in selected and click &#8220;<strong>OK<\/strong>.&#8221; My image will now look like this:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artisticimposter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Hovenweep_polar_coordinates.jpg\" alt=\"Hovenweep Polar Coordinates\" width=\"818\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1044\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The last step is to resize the image so that is a square. Some people do this step right after using the Clone Stamp tool, but I prefer to do it last. When I do it earlier in the process, I occasionally get weird artifacts in my final image. To complete this step, I will go to the &#8220;<strong>Image<\/strong>&#8221; menu again and choose &#8220;<strong>Image Size<\/strong>.&#8221; In the dialog box, I will make sure the &#8220;<strong>Resample<\/strong>&#8221; check box is selected and the <strong>link icon<\/strong> between <strong>Width<\/strong> and <strong>Height<\/strong> is not selected. I will choose &#8220;<strong>Pixels<\/strong>&#8221; from the <strong>drop down menu next to Width<\/strong>. Then I will change the value in <strong>the text box next to Width to match the value in the text box next to Height<\/strong>, and click &#8220;<strong>OK<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artisticimposter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/ImageSize.png\" alt=\"Image Size Dialog Box\" width=\"713\" height=\"358\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1047\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My final image looks like this:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artisticimposter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Hovenweep_final.jpg\" alt=\"Hovenweep Stereographic Projection Tutorial Final\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1049\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Although not perfect, my seam is now not even visible. It&#8217;s a little different from my first version because the Offset value in my first version was different, but that&#8217;s how it&#8217;s done!<\/p>\n<h2>Mirroring<\/h2>\n<p>For this example, I will use a different image. I&#8217;ll open up a copy of my photograph <a href=\"https:\/\/fineartamerica.com\/featured\/cottonwood-creek-k-bradley-washburn.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Cottonwood Creek<\/a> in Photoshop. The first thing I will do is go to the <strong>Layers panel<\/strong>, click the <strong>lock icon on the Background layer<\/strong>, right-click on the layer, and choose &#8220;<strong>Duplicate Layer<\/strong>.&#8221; I now have two layers, each with the Cottonwood Creek image.<\/p>\n<p>From the &#8220;<strong>Image<\/strong>&#8221; menu, I will now choose &#8220;<strong>Canvas Size<\/strong>.&#8221; In the <strong>dropdown box next to Width<\/strong>, I will choose &#8220;<strong>Percent<\/strong>.&#8221; Then in <strong>the text field next to Width<\/strong>, I will change &#8220;<strong>100<\/strong>&#8221; to &#8220;<strong>200<\/strong>&#8221; and click &#8220;<strong>OK<\/strong>.&#8221; This will double the width of the canvas while keeping the height the same.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artisticimposter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/CottonwoodCreek_canvassize.png\" alt=\"Cottonwood Creek Canvas Resized\" width=\"784\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1058\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Using the <strong>Selection Tool<\/strong>, I will drag one layer clear to the right of the canvas and drag the other layer clear to the left of the canvas. Then, with just one layer selected, I will go the &#8220;<strong>Edit<\/strong>&#8221; menu, scroll down to &#8220;<strong>Transform<\/strong>,&#8221; and choose &#8220;<strong>Flip Horizontal<\/strong>.&#8221; This creates a mirrored landscape and my image now looks like this:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artisticimposter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Cottonwood_Creek_flipped.jpg\" alt=\"Cottonwood Creek mirrored\" width=\"800\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1060\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With the top layer selected, I will now press &#8220;CMD+E&#8221; (Mac) or &#8220;CTRL+E&#8221; (Windows) to merge the two layers, and follow the steps I took above to rotate the image, map to polar coordinates, and resize to a square. My final image will look like this:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fineartamerica.com\/featured\/cottonwood-creek-mirrored-stereographic-projection-k-bradley-washburn.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artisticimposter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Cottonwood_Creek_Mirrored_Stereographic_Projection.jpg\" alt=\"Cottonwood Creek Mirrored Stereographic Projection\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1062\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all there is to it!
