This is an extension to Sellous's tuturial, credit to him and me.
1. First make a new blank square sheet.
2. Render clouds with black and white as your two clolours.
3. Select gradient map, at the bottom of the layers box.
4. Choose chrome, the blue and mustard preset.
5. Then change the preset to look like picture one.

6. Next say ok to everything and you will have a map very similar to Sellous's.
7. Optional, if you want the planet to look misty render clouds.
8. merge visible layers into one, this part is critical don't not do it.
9. Then, filter, distort, sphereize 100%, for the globe effect, will look like pic 2.
