You can use partial non-360 panoramic images too but a full 360 will look more natural. For that you can use commercial software like <STRONG>PTGui </STRONG>or <STRONG>Photoshop's Photomerge</STRONG>, or use freeware applications like <STRONG>AutoStitch</STRONG>.
<STRONG>1a-</STRONG> note that you can use a wide landscape shot instead of a panorama too, but it's best if the width is at least twice the height of the image, and also make sure the left side and right side of the photo match more or less. To check that you can try using <STRONG>Filter&gt;Other&gt;Offset</STRONG> command in Photoshop.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://wvs.topleftpixel.com/07/06/20/"><P><STRONG>2-</STRONG> Open the image in Photoshop and resize it to a 1:1 square image. To do that you need to uncheck <STRONG>Constrain Proportions</STRONG> in <STRONG>Image Size</STRONG> panel. I recommend scaling up the smaller size to match the bigger length and not the other way around. So for example if your photo is 2000x1000 pixels resize it to 2000x2000 pixels.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://wvs.topleftpixel.com/07/06/20/"><P><STRONG>3-</STRONG> Rotate the image 180 degrees.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://wvs.topleftpixel.com/07/06/20/"><P><STRONG>4-</STRONG> Go to <STRONG>Filter&gt;Distort&gt;Polar Coordinates</STRONG> and select <STRONG>Rectangular to Polar</STRONG>.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/345FB816-FEB6-4DD9-A70F-A8E288C33F44/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
