I've tried twice to make a Azimuthal Equidistant map, once in PS with Filter > Distort > Polar Coordinates and the second with G.Projector. Both times I didn't like the way it was distorting and made everything look stretched. Is there a way to circular background in PS and I can just plot my landmasses there? Or is there another way that I may not know about?

Any help you guys and gals could provide would be greatly appreciated.
