11. Next create a new layer (CTRL+SHIFT+N) on top of your base or background layer and draw a large perfect circle (hold shift) with the elliptical marquee tool (M) like shown. Fill it with any color, I chose red. This layer will serve as an outline for when we shape our new globe.

12. We now need either one of the water/land layers to be visible. Which ever one you choose, make sure the layer is active and enter transform mode (CTRL+T) and scale it down (while holding shift) a little bit like shown.
