Photosphere editing. Could it be even better?

[Franzi von Fragenfeld]

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.
