Hello, I have been trying to create a Small Planet effect using Photoshop.
I followed the tutorials from websites regarding this, and all of them basically do this:
1. Square the Image
2. Flip Image Vertically
3. Apply Polar Coordinates Filter (Filter > Distort > Polar Coordinates)
4. Flip Image Vertically again.
5. Touch ups
I followed those steps and my result is bad compared to what my friend did.
He seems to have applied one more "filter" to the Image. The outer part of the planet seemed to be stretched.
I have attached two Images for comparison. Please take a look at the images below.
I asked him on how to do that, he ask me to figure it out myself and he says that it is simple. But I still cant figure them out.
I hope the gurus here could give me help on figuring out what is the last step to achieve the result identical to my friend's.![Big Grin :D :D](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png)

And below are my result and my friend's result.

The last comparison image was given by him to elaborate the difference between the two results.
The outer the color is, the thicker they are.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!
