Creating an Equirectangular image from a normal 2:1 image...

I want to take a background image that I created in photoshop and convert it to equirectangular so that when I bring it into Premiere, it will function as a 360 background. The image is in 2:1 aspec ratio, but it needs to be warped to equi so that premiere will convert it properly when I toggle VR on. Is this something that can be done automatically (or even manually) within photoshop?

    I'm looking for a stable repetable way to do this too.

     

    I also have the need to form other deformations, as the step from importing a proper equirectangular image ~100.000 pixel X 200.000 pixel and transform to something like Miller Cylindrical with center choosable for other than equator. maybe tilt it and such.

     

    I guess this kind of large image GIS filters already excist? I just cant find them.

     


    I've solved my need by installing the Geographic Imager plugin. It handles that kind of transformations with ease, and had a massive set of geo mapping features too. Paid ~ 750 usd twice though, once license for my Mac and once license for my PC.

    Thanks, Sahil! That is good information that you provided, but the image I want to convert to equi is one single image in 2:1 aspect ratio (5760x2880 to be exact). It isn't pictures taken from any camera, rather it is a watercolor-like abstract background that I created to be able to wrap with the Spherical Panoramic mode. The problem is when I enter Spherical Panoramic, it pinches the top and bottom. When I take photos with a 360 camera, it exports in equi so that pinching doesn't occur. What I want to do is warp the image that I created into an equirectangular image that won't pinch. I don't even know if this is possible.
