With UIC, to make a planet, just click the planet toolbar button, and then drag and drop on the map where you want the planet. That is, if you've registered the program. You can't make planets with the unregistered version. BUT! If you have a program that can use standard Photosho plugins, then don't bother with the UIC planet tool, GET LUNARCELL!!!!! The link is in the "look what I found" thread that we've all been watching. OMG that plugin is INCREDIBLE! It takes LIVE sattelite images of the earth for cloud images!!! It can make weather, storms, atmosphere, clouds, even city lights on the dark side of your planet! You can specify sea level, colors, EVERYTHING! I s**t my pants when I saw what this thing can do... for free!
