Once we have provided the canvas size, the Adobe Photoshop Interface and our design canvas will look something like this: We just want a double width canvas for now. Yes, we are not going to change the Height. It is now set to be 17408 which is exactly twice the size of my original picture (which was 8704 pixels). Please follow the picture below for the new canvas size. Now, a new pop-up will appear and we must provide the new canvas size. Image > Canvas Size to increase the size of the canvas So, in order to do that, what we need the most is double the size of the canvas to fit in the mirror of the photo we are already using (remember, we noted the image dimensions in last step? This is exactly why we needed them). Its like wrapping the sphere's right side with the original photo and then wrapping the left side with the mirror image of the same photo.

Instead, we would like to have an exact replica of our first picture so that we wrap around our sphere with exactly the same photo. If we choose to select a different picture here, our tiny world would then be made up of two different pictures of two different places, which is something we do not want. So, we need to be able to have the other 180 degrees (a sphere is a 360 degree, folks) in order to wrap our sphere with the gorgeous 360 photo that i already took. If we try to wrap this image around our sphere, we will only be able to wrap one half of it (which is actually 180 degrees of goodness).
