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.

Hey developers. I work alot with photospheres and the option to add a life projection layer is really really useful. Still, I have a few suggestions which could make it even better. 1)Seam adjustment, take 1 Sometimes the "sideborders" of an unrolled sphere end up in a doorway or window. Just where one would typically add a hotspot in 360 tour creation software. Basically what would be great to be able to rotate the image in life projection mode and when the life projection is removed the outside borders are repositioned, avoiding the doorways. 2)Seam adustment, take 2 Most cameras which shoot with two 180degree lenses create small misalignments when autostitching them. Usually the overall result is great. Still, to have the option to mark the stiching line and then grab it from left and right to distort the adjacent picture areas along the stitching line until everything matches would be great. I know this can be done already by grid distortion, but an extra tool would make it simpler. 3)More editing options. Not sure if this could be done, but it would be absolutely awesome if the would be the option to somehow replace the whole floor or ceiling in a photosphere with another texture. The tricky part is that one can not edit very lare areas of the photosphere right now without funny results due to the distortion towards the floor. If this would be possible it would create awesome possibilities for interior designers who could easily offer modified 3D images with different floors or walls this way. 4)Button for life projection Could you perhaps add a button for the life projection? That would make life much easier, because you do not have to go through all the menus. Thanks so much for an already great piece of software.
