Description
This is a simple filter that creates planets or orbs. Use the "Sphere Size" slider to scale the planet/orb. This filter includes three color swatches to adjust the color of highlights, "land", and "water". The "Blend Masses" slider allows the user to soften the edge transitions to create either solid land area or gaseous clouds. The "Coastal Edges" controls edge characteristics...higher settings increase roughness. The "Increase Land and Water Size" sliders adjust size/shape of terrain. The "Variations slider" may also be used to vary the terrain.Opacity, radius, and blend mode sliders are included to adjust the highlight. The highlight area can be adjusted both vertically and horizontally.When "Atmosphere" is checked, cloud cover is added.***NOTE: This filter REQUIRES the "Size,Pixels" slider be set at the maximum amount. ***NOTE: This filter REQUIRES the image be square. It just doesn't work correctly on non square images.
