like the circles that you find

in the windmills of your mind.

well, i did another go at that photoshop globe shit and once again i was stumped. just as well, i've gone as far as the reflection on the ball and that was it. sooooo....as i've told you before, i am one who takes what i can from a situation, then i move on. in this case to my favourite program, ribbet. ribbet is much improved these days and it's a lot easier. methinks i will have to remove that photoshop and be content with ribbet. i just don't have that much patience.

i know! i know! why didn't i just use pho.to? well, i just might.

so look who's the centre of the universe here!

@olivetreeann - thank you, ann, for your wonderful efforts, as always!

[Marnie]

You're better than me, I wasn't game to try it.

This is a different twist on the photo globe. I'm still way behind on learning Photoshop. Still trying to figure out Lightroom. Seems like when they updated Photoshop to the Creative Cloud, it became more complicated. Just when I think I've got the hang of some of the basics, it seems I can't apply them.

[Diana]

Although you are not happy with your globe, it looks good to me. I love the song btw ;-)

[JackieR]

If you're stumped no way I'm going to attempt it, still struggling with new Ribbet!!!

[FBailey]

I spent ages and ages battling with globes and Elements (never tried ribbet) and was staggered that pho.to did what it did in seconds. No reflections or shadows though. Strangely it took a lot of the fun away. I prefer your version!

[Corinne]

bravo !

[Lou Ann]

We all remember that song! Your globe is great! I know Katy will like it too! 😊

[Henri Russell]

Well you are much more advanced that I on PhotoShop. I am still trying to merge two pictures again. Don't know how I did it the first time. I also love ribbet.com. I love this globe. I have no idea how you did it in PhotoShop. Good job.

[David]

Life's too short to mess about with Photoshop!

[Richard Sayer]

To me this is more interesting than the pho.to globes with the same framework for everyone.

[Islandgirl]

This is lovely Vikki............it pops nicely on black!

[katy]

Impressed you would try it in photo shop and thrilled to be the center of your universe! I am the proverbial old dog and figure I will pass to maybe greater glory without ever having even attemped PS! Brilliantly done!

[Sally Ings]

Very nicely put together. I took the easy way out and used the website that Ann provided to produce my globe.
There is a really nice (and simple) YouTube video by Gavin Hoey to put a globe together. I can let you have the link if you would like it.

@salza - in fact i was watching that gavin hoey video and i get stumped all the time when it comes to the part before the black circle thing. nothing he says in the video worked for me from that point on and it was quite frustrating. so i just take whatever i got and brought it down to ribbet and it was quite fine. thanks, sally.
