What program you use for making 360 Panos

[MarkusKiili]

What program you use to make 360 panos, when you shoot with DSLR? I have LR and Photoshop CC, but haven't found good tutorial yet. I know that some people have done those with photoshop, but there seems to be quite much to do with it. So is there any such program where you just download your photos and click your 360 is ready?

Hi @MarkusKiili

Have you tried using the Street View app?

You can capture the whole scene and upload it directly onto your contributions.

I hope this help!

Kindest regards,
Rikesh

@RikeshMistry Yes, but I would like to get better quality photos with DSLR.

For stiching your DLSR images to panos try PTGui or Autopanogiga. Both programs you can try for free with watermarks on panos. Both have very good documentation, FAQs and many videos with tutorials on YouTube.

Thanks @JacekNK. This was what I'm looking for. PYGui was new name for me.

Hi @MarkusKiili have a look to this thread (if you are already enrolled into 360 SVT program): https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/Street-View-Trusted/How-do-I-choose-a-third-party-tool/td-p/19...

@LucioV I'm not yet in 360 SVT. I've shoot normal photos and panos and tried street view app with phone, but would like to do good 360 panos too. I've noticed that quite many 360 photos in Google Maps are really bad quality and I guess it's due to those 360 cameras, which are I guess better for video. Actually I'm just getting one form Google, so I can test if it's a camera problem.

Yes. It's a problem of pure quality of 360 cameras and not so high dimensions of images. With DLSR and fisheye lens you are able to reach 72Mpix images in true HDR quality. Sorry to say but 360 cameras are still toys.

Ok, just a quick answer.

To use a DSLR you need to use a software like PTGUI or Autopano Pro from Kolor (there is full of tutorials on youtube).

Or, you can start professional usage of third party tools as like as http://www.tourmake.net that is claiming to launch his custom stitching tool in these days.
