Question

couple of things with spherical 360 panorama images

Hello!

I'm trying to figure out couple of things how to do them in Photoshop. 3D -> Spherical panorama

First off. How do you straighten 360 image horizon? Is there a tool for doing that? Similar what can be found in Affinity Photo

as seen in this video 360 Roll Correction / Straightening (Affinity Photo) - YouTube

And is it possible to rotate two or more 3D layers simultaneously as it can be done.. again.. in Affinity with simply Ctrl selecting

layers and rotating camera without merging layers.

Thanks!

What are you actually doing?  If you are trying to stitch image into a 360 Spherical Panorama I would suggest that Photoshop is not the best application to do that.

If you have a stitched  360 Spherical Panorama.  Photoshop's 3D Import Spherical Panorama would be very helpful for patching up poorly stitched area and removing objects like tripods. Because of how 3d space works when you rotate the Spherical Panorama the severe distortion is corrected and you can work on these areas well.  However, I believe when you export the patched Spherical Panorama it will have the perspective, viewpoint and horizon as the imported Spherical Panorama.  They would need to be corrected during the actual stitching process. There are dedicated Applications and Photoshop plug-ins for stitching panoramas.   I do not believe ACR or Photoshop  Photomerge have tools for changing viewpoint and the horizon.

Hi there!

I already have one stitched 360 panorama image straight from my phone camera. I would like to adjust the horizon.

If you watch that youtube link i sent, you can see what i mean. I have image similar to the one shown at 4:00 360 Roll Correction / Straightening (Affinity Photo) - YouTube

Affinity does pretty good job in that case, but i would prefer to do it in Photoshop if possible.

What about rotating two images simultaneously?

Thanks

I see few  controls in Adobe's 3D 360 Spherical Panorama  currently. Most 3d icons are grayed out in the 3d and properties palettes
