Another Earth (with wallpaper)

[iamtheblues]

Here's another planet I'm currently using as my desktop wallpaper.
It was made using Filter Forge 4 with a texture called Land and Sea, which I modified to get the colours and ratio of land to sea that I wanted.
The texture was spherized using an ancient version of Paintshop Pro, from when it was owned by Jasc.
The nebula were made using Flaming Pear's Glitterato plugin.
The clouds were made using Xara's Fractal Clouds fills and transparencies, applied prior to the Spherize process.
I have attached a zip file which contains the wallpaper at 1920 X 1080 resolution, plus the nebula settings in a .q9r file for those of you who have Glitterato, plus some bitmaps I used when making the wallpaper.
Bob.

I think the corona is missing.

I'm not a fan of manufactured planets - the real ones are so spectacular.

Turned out well Bob. Most of it could have been done easily in Xara though.

EDIT: The stars I find difficult though. Even so I am impressed how many programs you made work together.

Awesome Bob ....

@ Larry ... Obviously you're much better with Xara than I am! (although that's not difficult), I'd be working on that for months to get even close ....
