Yeah I think I've heard of Fliexify-2 before, and I even think I downloaded it, but I couldn't figure it out. Ultimately I sorta was hoping you know ... Affinity Photo being a competitor to Photoshop, they would institute some kind of function that would allow me to straighten 360 photos without having to resort to Photoshop again.

So I sometimes take 360 photos and look at them in equirectangular format and realize that they're not level. Fixing this, as far as I can tell, is near impossible, since once you start to rotate a 360 photo (not in live equirectangular projection), the edges of the image simply rotate off the canvas, completely oblivious to the need for them to "wrap around" to the other side, whether they need to wrap up, down, side to side at an angle, or whatever, for the 360 photo to maintain it's seamless spherical form when projected. I would imagine a feature like this would also make adjusting the "starting viewing point" of a 360 photo insanely easy.

Hello. Experienced Photoshop user here, but I saw an ad for Affinity Photo and nabbed it due, not only to its absolutely affordable price, but also it's apparently fantastic 360 Degree photo editing tools. I don't know if I've just been stuck in past versions of Photoshop and haven't seen any more recent versions to see its 360 degree offerings, but as far as I know, Photoshop doesn't have anything as neat an awesome as Equirectangular Live Projection ... which is pretty much exactly what I was looking for to help me remove, well, "me", out of my 360 Photos, as I use an inexpensive LG 360 Cam and generally place it on top of my head to try to get out of the way of the picture. Unfortunately, this creates another problem that I'm not entirely sure how to tackle (wrapping my head around Live Projection has taken me a bit). The result of me using my rounded dumb head as something to set my camera and, more specifically, it's long tripod pole on, is that I end up taking 360 degree photos where there subject matter is ... not level. Off-kilter. And I keep trying to think of how to fix it, but my brain is stuck in 2D Photoshop editing mode. I think to myself, "Free transform! Rotate!" ... but then I have to correct myself and think, "No no, this is a sphere. If I mess with one thing I'll mess with the seamless border of the entire image... So my question is, is there a way, whether in normal Equirectangular vision, or in Live Projection, to ... "tilt" the photosphere ever so slightly as to make the starting point of an image level? The image I am working with is here: as you can see, the building is leaning a bit to the right.
