The only thing that sucks after painstakingly stitching photos from a 360 degree shoot together into a panoramic strip is how insignificant it looks when you finish. The aspect ratio makes it tiny on screen forcing you to zoom in and if you're thinking of printing it, you better get a large continuos roll of paper to have any impact at all.

Photojojo.com has a simple step-by-step tutorial to transform your panoramic strip into a striking looking planet (and a square print) with a little help from photoshop. The type of scene you shoot will dramatically effect the outcome, not to mention the quality of source material but you knew that already.

Check out flickr for some great examples.
