Provide a hemispherical view to your photos.
1. Open your image.

2. Use the Elliptical Marquee tool to create a circular selection in the center of the image. Hold down the Shift key as you drag to create a perfect circle.
3. Choose Filter > Distort > Spherize. Set the Amount slider to 100% to produce the maximum amount of spherization (to coin a term). Click on OK to apply the modification.

4. With the circular section still selected, copy the selection and paste onto a new layer (press Ctrl/Command + C to copy and Ctrl/Command + V to paste).
5. Use Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast and move the brightness and contrast sliders each to the right to lighten the fisheye view and increase its contrast.
6. Use Filter > Sharpen > Unsharp Mask to sharpen up the fisheye view a bit.

Very important to increase my knowledge.
Thank`s a lot for your kindness.
Best regardas
well that’s a cool effect, bet yah it could come in handy. Well done keep up the good work!
I don’t think this is right. A pic taken from a fisheye lens would have pincushon distortion for far away objects, wouldn’t it?
to nevin (the guy that quoted last) your too picky. its photoshop not a miracle worker thank you.
