Hi!

I was wondering if anyone knew how to create something like this in photoshop. I need to format about 7 photos or so within a circle and am very new to the program so I don't where to find this kind of tutorial. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Don't know. But because you had no replies in 7 hours, thought I might throw something out there to trigger others' thoughts.

If it were my project, the first thing I might try was a piece of panorama stitching software set to sphere. I would not let the software attempt auto-stitching because I assume there are no similiar points in your various photos to stitch. Set it to manual, position the pictures and see if the pano software will successfully wrap and warp the photos. Just an idea.

Not that hard I'ld think: Create the collage like a square, the go Filter > Distort > Spherize. Use 100%. Then use a circulair mask (Eliptical Marque tool, while holding shift) to cut out the outsides.:

Thanks cannedheat for dropping in to give me some direction :) Now I have an idea where to go from here!

Rene, you've always been the 'cream of the crop' for photoshop answers. I didn't even know that filter existed. :D
