Question

Ps 2019 on 360 panorama super slow

The hardware

  • Mac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015)
  • 4 GHz Intel Core i7
  • 16 GB 1867 MHz DDR3
  • AMD Radeon R9 M395X 4 GB

A Thunderbolt 2 scratch disk is attached, 1.17 TB free disk space.

GPU by Ps detected and automatically enabled, mode set to Advanced (Ps CC 2019 did that, not me).

Size equirectangular pano: 24000 x 12000 pixel.

Super slow and permanently message "Memory full (RAM)" (can not remember exact words, but like so) popping up.

Only Ps running, except for Camtasia recording the screen. But Camtasia need no memory at all, utilises the GPU and is super efficient. So, that's not the problem.

Sound like you have a low opinion of Adobe Application developing you are not a lone.  However, I can not agree with you opinion that Adobe is robbing their customers.  I do not see any gun smoke coming out of Adobe doors.   I see what might not be the best code and a lot of bugs coming out of Adobe Doors.  I do not see Adobe marketing employees holding guns to Adobe users heads. Users should feel free to use code better then Adobe code when that code is available. If you are not satisfied with Adobe code you should look for code that satisfies your need or develop the code. Do you see some Adobe employee pointing a Gun at you?

On windows Photoshop uses all the threads that it can to do the job its just the my xeons processors are slow only 2GHZ Photoshop's minimum requirement.  Does not take that long on a panorama 24000x9000 px. Content Aware fill also will not remove shadows tripods and other equipment.

Wrote the robbing thing being annoyed and angry.

Hmmm, my iMac is suffering of the out of memory problem having 16 GB RAM, 4 GB VRAM on AMD Radeon R9 M395X and 1 TB free on scratch disk (Thunderbolt 2).

Something else: which drone and which app are you using to get that tiny nice little drone hole. I utilise a M2P, mine is octagonal and huge. In 3D mode, I must set manually vertical angle to 135° to be able to do a content aware fill. Focal length 1mm is not sufficient.

Brush and stamps are not usable, it would take days or even weeks to finish filling the hole like so.

Would be nice, if you could tell me your drone, tools and workflow you used on images above, many thanks in advance!

I  do not own a drone.  Photoshop is not designed for stitching image or video footage into 360 spherical projection panoramas. So If I owned a drone and wanted to create 360 spherical projection panoramas from what it captured. The first thing I would do is look for software designed to do that.  I have read some drone software or firmware attempts to do that. I do nor know what kind of drone or what kind of gimbals the drone camera has or what focal length the camera has or how big the hole the airframe causes.  I would think a focal length anywhere near 1mm would produce a very distorted image which may be very hard to deal with. I feel you need to look for software specially designed for drones image stitching 360 spherical projection panoramas.  I would think if there is a hole in the sky Photoshop would have not problem patching it.  The 360 Image I downloaded with holes Photoshop did a good job with content aware fill its performances was not bad.
