Zooming in Photoshop with 360 panorama in 3D preview

Why PS does not zoom in in full quality and zooms only part of the screen? Thanks to this there is no chance to edit the pano in the spherical preview, bcos the magnified quality is very poor.

So what is your point. The rendered 360 spherical projection 2D image is very distorted.  Some area look sharper than they are because  of the compressed perspective view where other area look softer then they are  because of the stretched perspective view. When viewed in a 3D spherical Panorama viewer the distortion is removed you can only view part of the Panorama scene at a time  with the amount of detail you have the area with the corrective perspective. Here both zoomed to 32%

The point is the following. For example, I want to remove me from a place near to nadir or camera stand, not possible to do it in the rectangular image, must be done in  360 spherical projection. Or If I want to clone an object, like a window or any other with the clone stamp.

I have notice a few thing with Photoshop 3D Spherical Panorama feature.  Menu 3D>Spherical panorama>  has three item. The first import want to import the panorama file and scale it down in size.  IMP you need to change the settings to match the panorama canvas size for it to work well. The second  item wold create the 3D Spherical Panorama the same size as the file would open in Photoshop and retains the document's name in the tab.  Where the Import Option would change the file extension from like .jpg to .dae in the Tab. Once the 3D spherical panorama is created the Image displayed is much softer than the jpeg. and seems to be  much larger for when I scale the 3d image to match the 2d Image zoomed to 100%  the soft 3D  image zoom scale states 38% the 3D Projection must be huge.  So the image is very soft but I can zoom way in if I need to.  What is displayed is very soft but what is displayed  is not the Programs actual pixels and perspective the actual pixels area in the 2d panorama projection in the area being displayed may be what has great distortion that the 3D viewer is correcting so you can edit the area.  I can not say  that I had a hard time cutting some floor tiles and patching out the tripod hole.

Hello,

 

I have the same problem with 22.1.1

Impossible to use the clone stamp tool, becase the part which is copied is showing poor quality (less than original), il I am painting directly on the 3D layer or on an additional layer merged afterwards.

The only way to deal with  this problem is by using the clone stam tool in the 2D map but this is useless for the tripod removal which should be done in the spherical view.
