PS 2018 now has the ability to edit 360 degree equirectangular photos, something I was very excited about. However, I'm having difficulty exporting the results, as well as editing. After opening an equirectangular 360 degree photo, then going to 3D - spherical panorama -> new spherical panorama from selected layer, I'm having many difficulties. 1) shortcuts for things like levels don't work. You can only create an adjustment layer. 2) select area and delete (content aware) does not work. 3) new adjustment layers can't be merged down And lastly, but most importantly, whenever I export a finished panorama, it's not recognized as a 360 degree photo by various websites and programs. Has anyone else actually tried this new functionality? Any success??

I think a year is too long to wait for an answer, Adobe. Just sayin. And now that Photoshop has the ability to edit equirectangular photos, or 360 degree photos, this is even more of a question with Lightroom CC Classic. If anybody has any idea about viewing and editing 360 degree photos in Lightroom, please let me know. FB and Flickr also both support this, but lightroom mobile does not. Oh, and Premier can edit 360 video footage. Thanks

This is a problem with Windows, as is mentioned some above. Windows does not manage colors on a global basis, as does the MAC. So things can change on an application by application basis. But it's particularly important to always make sure when saving that your file is save with the working ICC profile, also mentioned above. My day job is giclee printing for artists and photographers, and I cannot tell you how many professionals save out files for print, web and other reproduction without their working profile embedded. But even in the best scenario, saving for web will give you a reduced color pallet that can sometimes lead to color being over saturated or changing somewhat. You just can't count on your high resolution files and your web files having the exact same look, and even if they do on your monitor. there's no telling what others might see on different systems.

Me too. I thought I was going crazy. With all due respect Adobe, this update is a total pile of dog doo. I'm being as polite as I can, but the entire 2018 update with its myriad of work stoppage bugs is just not fit for release. I hope you're listening. So far bugs that have greatly affected my work are 1) This text bug 2) Healing brush lag 3) colors inconsistent between 2017 and 2018 (ADOBE??!!! You messed up the most basic and essential thing - color accuracy). At least you fixed the issue of "image turns black when spanning two monitors in a dual monitor setup", I mean, it took 10 months!!!!!! Seriously. You are not doing well.

It's more than annoying, it's a work stoppage issue. I simply can't use 2018. It's too slow to even consider right now. The new brush tools have destroyed PS. I have 2017 and 2018 installed side by side, just waiting for a fix.

I could not reproduce the issue with the TIF file of the sunflower. However when I run PS 2017 and PS 2018 side by side and open the same PNG file next to each other, they appear differently. But when I look at RGB values with the eyedropper, the values are the same, they are displaying differently. Hope this helps.

I tried to use Adobe's new editing functions on a spherical panorama, but it's extremely laggy and the brush tool is really unusable. It doesn't matter if smoothing is turned on or off, as the video demonstrates - either way the lag is terrible. It also bogs down the entire system and in some cases freezes Photoshop. I've tried other editing tools using the 3D spherical panorama editing function, like the clone stamp, healing brush etc, and it just lags so badly you can't even use it.

Unless you use it a lot you might not see it. These are known issues though, and Adobe is working on them. On my systems sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Long periods of use always show the healing brush lagging to the point it's not usable.

Yes, MAC absolutely can run two instances of PS side by side. I have 2017 and 2018 installed because of the healing brush bugs in 2018. They can both be open at once.

The healing brush in 2018 has all kinds of issues. The most common issue is brush lag, but I've also seen instances where it just doesn't work at all. In short, if you use the healing brush or any other content aware functions regularly, you should reinstall Photoshop 2017. You can run both 2017 and 2018 at the same time, side by side, until Adobe fixes these issues. But it's not your preferences, IMHO, it's the program.

I do a lot of these, and I do some edits for color and brightness in Photoshop and Lightroom. It's an involved process. I use a Canon 7D 3/4 frame camera and a 8MM Canon Fisheye. With a tripod head at a 7 degree tilt in landcape mode, I shoot four photos, each with a 90 degree turn. You can also set the camera for bracketing, and do four bracketed shots 90 degrees apart. At first I don't touch these in Lightroom. I export the images as TIF files and make my equatorial 360 photo in PTGUI. I then take that image and bring it into lightroom, run sharpening, color changes, noise reduction, light changes etc. Edit in photoshop for cloning if necessary, and then upload to places like FB, Flickr, google maps etc. The new Photoshop 3D mapping makes cloning the nadir easier now, as well as finer touchup. I use a separate program for

I like to use select color range, then put that color on a separate layer and clean it up, then use hue/saturation to change the color. 1. Select Color range 2. Command+J , new layer from selection 3. turn off lower layer so you can see your selection 4. do any necessary cleanup 5. turn lower layer back on 6. hue/saturation

I can now confirm that on two machines, even if you turn smoothing off, eventually it starts lagging again. Eventually it slows down again. So we're pretty much back to 2015.5 until this gets resolved.

I've been using the Adobe tools on my ipad pro for a few months now and love them. You can save your files to icloud and then open them and continue work in the full programs on your desktop. The Lightroom mobile companion is also awesome on the ipad, and while not the full version, you can do a lot and then continue on your desktop as it syncs to the cloud. For drawing on the ipad you might want to buy Procreate. It's only $8, and it's awesome and allows you to draw with the apple pen. It allows for layers as well. When you're done you can export to PSD and save to the icloud, then open them on your MAC desktop and do more detailed work etc in the full version of photoshop. So while the ipad pro doesn't have the full version, the Adobe mobile tools and Procreate make it a powerful desktop companion.

I just tested this. I opened three different files, one at 72ppi one @ 200 ppi and one @ 350ppi. I opened them each once in PS 2017 and then closed PS 2017 and opened them again in PS 2018. No difference. I couldn't reproduce it.

I've had some weird issues with droplets lately so I tested this. I made an action in PS 2017 and saved it as a droplet. I made the same action in PS 2018 and created an identical droplet. Both droplets work identically using PS 2018. If I have PS 2017 (2015.5) open and use the droplet created in PS 2018, it works and runs correctly in PS 2017. Just thought I'd let you know another user tried to reproduce this and couldn't.

I created the droplets in the previous version of Photoshop, pS 2017. I have never had to create new droplets when upgrading a version of photoshop. Ever. So I'm not sure why this should matter.

It's really easy. I did it. Go to the adobe cloud icon at the top of your screen, then under photoshop select "other versions". You can reinstall the old version along side the new one. I'm running both now (well, i'm running the old version, the new one is just sitting there until Adobe fixes this).

I just installed PS 2018. As soon as I did that I tried to continue my work flow, which includes using droplets. I took at tif file and dragged it onto one of my droplets, and the droplet opened GIMP of all things (I keep it for a few obscure things I won't go into). I check to see that PS 2018 was the default for file type tif, and it is. Still, every time, with all image files, my droplets try and open GIMP. Then I opened PS 2018 and ran a droplet again. It turns out that when PS 2018 is open, that the droplet works, when it's closed, droplets try and open GIMP. Then I reinstalled 2017 (2015.5) along side PS 2018 because 2018 has an issue with the healing brush being super slow that was so bad I couldn't keep working. Next time I used a droplet, it opens PS 2017. MAC OS 10.12.6 Any input apprecieated. Thanks.
