    So here it is;

    Attempting to convert one layer of this partial image to the base layer of a skin to be applied to a spherical object (probably via Unity) - suggestions accepted for the most efficient way to go about this? Principle notions include

    1 - using the coastline layer as the foundational layer to transform
    2 - using the lowest layer of sea level differentiation as the foundational layer
    3 - complete the layered map (from bottom sea layer to top height-above-sea-level) before consolidating & importing to the spherical object

    Race you...

    Default

    geo reference it using Qgis ,and remap to simple cylindrical
    or Equal area rectangular from 90 north to 90 south and 0 to 360 long

    remap the full image once flattened ( layers merged and alpha removed)

    or just the data you want in unity
