[How to make Pano Planets]

Madjik--

How exactly do I do rectangular to polar conversion in Paint.net??

My version only shows one option [Effects > Distort > Polar Inversion]. I don't see an option for rectangular to polar.

Also, what does this statement mean?

"2.Add you picture up side down in the 1/4 bottom part of the image (for 800x800, your image should be placed at 0,600 to 800,800)."

I understand that I need to resize to a square shaped image, but what does the rest of that mean?

I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to make planet like pictures with Paint.net similar to these at DDOI and Flickr:

I am trying to use the [Effects > Distort > Polar Inversion] tool in Paint.net and I am not coming anywhere close to the images above.
