general photo use very good effects
recognise 2 x 1 aspect
video output resolution 5500
Obvious warping issues off horizon 1. The sky backgrounds are brilliant - an enormous library BUT as they are designed for the sky which is off the horiz line it means we need warp effect ... there are work arounds see below 2. The elements to add in are very useful: sun, moon, trees, birds 3. interacts with about 4 other quality photographer apps from this author works on any size photo
about 360 Spherical
The fastest growing social media medium around
many apps and devices are available and good news; cameras are getting cheaper daily, some cameras are dedicated devices and others are small attachments to connect to your smartphone
I don't sell the equipment so google the reviews
The info below shows the example of what you can do in video and photos
TIP: click the external links to watch in your smartphone to enjoy VR (Virtual reality) effect
go to the page link (top of this page - 360 apps) to see more including communities using 360 and get excited
Best value:
get the FREE app host site of 360 Spherical TV VeeR and watch endless 360 pics and videos
and they have excellent blog
Please use this referral link to sign up for VeeR and the referral credit will be handed to my charity project FSCC Bangkok
I'm guessing I get a report of people that join so I will share so you know it happened

Road test2018.09.01 roadtest
file aspect: 2 x 1
resolution output tested to 5000
whats hot
many sky scenes, sunny, cloudy, sunset, peril,
elements to add: trees, clouds
Zoom feature is not strong for fine tune
requested re be increased to 6000 and work the zoom option
tipsincrease resolution
open the original in photo editor
using layers add the modified image that includes with sky lab effects
then erase from the layer all except the sky lab effect on the original pic
when you save it should show original res
my drone image was resolution 12000 but had to reduce to 8000 to use in 360 editor VeeR added sky in sky lab and output was 4000 loaded original image in photo editor Enlight and added via layer the sky lab version then washed out in layer all except the sky lab changes, final output was 8000 loaded into VeeR and added logo filter warning: exposing the seam
refer to tricks in lab test page lab test page Alien section Warning Filters, includes removing seams and manage warping
Managing Warping - when the insert is well above or below horizon
refer to tricks in lab test page lab test page Alien section Wrapping
specific notes for sky lab re warping: I've have used the sky background several times, the warping is not so obvious when part of an entire skyline and as the centre top (called ??) I add a logo at the top which reduces the issue what I like
1. so many effects
2. editing options on the effects
3. interacts with several other quality photo apps from this author
what I dnt like
1. no warping - such is life
2. no enough expansion of image to work on fine detail IN PARTICULAR
when you want to mask our parts of the insert .. you can't see it enough
I've reported this to the app author in the past
App author: 2018.09.04 will be increasing resolution asap The drone 360 images were captured using app Hangar (23 individual photos are snapped in a 3 min cycle) then uploaded to a free cloud stitching service. The result auto applies a blue panel with Hanger logo to the top of the photo (drones can't snap shots 30% above)
The 4 Hangar hosted shots are linked in tour page in section 360 drone in Khao Ngu Stone Park, resolution is massive sample image below from a manual stitch, used desktop app Panorama studio (listed in photo stitch page) then a fake sky with with mobile app sky lab. normally the image would have blue panel above 30% with hanger logo but i did not download from hangar I wanted to use a manual stitch to get more res (hangar site res is massive 30,000+ but the download via fbk is only 5000)
all about Drone app Hangar the image is uploaded to several sites to demonstrate the 360 spherical effect
example 2018.09.05 1. drone 360 stitched in hangar cloud and download with Hangar logo 2. use app Sky Lab to apply background sky loaded into sky lab sister app LenseFX to add some planes 3. shifted the starting view to expose the seam used free IOS app Entouch to heal seam and VeeR to add logos
Site: Theta: Powerful zoom in / out
why Theta site: many display controls,
Zoom out to make a crystal ball, all display styles can be downloaded.
click a thumbnail to watch in 360
- have fun morphing the imagesThese images appear in tour page Khao Ngu Rock Park (Plus ground 360) as well as the Virtual tour in the tour page all drone shots are listed and worthy viewing Image Kings park WA Theta site lets you change the display styles - see options below images in Theta site or

Now supports 360 degree photos! - A new twist on photo editing. Turn your photos into amazing circular images with Circular+. Circular+ is a fun app with powerful new features never seen before in this type of app. You can easily zoom in and out of your circular image to get it just right. Once you're happy with your image, add professional effects such as lens flares and sky objects like the sun, moon, planets, and birds.REVIEWS "My favorite iPhone app for this purpose is Circular+" - Joanna Stern, Wall Street Journal "I've tried them all and Circular is by far the best "tiny planet" app. You get more controls and fun effects like lens flares and moons. Having a blast with this app!" - Customer Review "I tried different Tiny planet apps, but this is really the best. Love that I can put different things inside the picture ... Thanks for the great work." - Customer Review This app does so much more than just turn your image into a tiny planet. It has all kinds of effects you can add and you have a lot of control over how it twists your image. - Customer Review VIDEO: http://vimeo.com/brainfevermedia/circular Another really cool feature is a collection of "center" objects. These include spheres, planets, and geometric shapes to place at the center of your image circle. This turns your image into a mini world. FEATURES - Super fast and responsive editing - Adjust image zoom, rotation, invert-mode, and repeats - Professional effects: lens flares, sky objects, and centers. The lens flares are the same as the pro desktop app, LensFlare Studio - Filters and Lens Textures - Fun sample images to get your started Features

use for 360 images to create little planet view output to square canvas
Comments
loads of controls,
1st up for 360 users - find the 360 tick box on the far right to ensure full circle little planet effect
other controls lets you set zoom, rotation angle and more
whats hot
various elements (library of objects) that can be inserted into frame
multiple layers stacks to add objects from library
rotate the 360 image to any angle and extract still photos
There are quite a few apps that offer little planet and they are listed in the main 360 app page
some are free and included within branded camera apps such as Theta but like most extras they are limited as an add on
When you go to a DEDICATED app feature you usually get many enhancements as is the case with this app
so many EDIT controls ..... PLUS effects, edit effects, Masks, Layers, Filters what I like
1. many controls for creativity rotate the angle and height and zoom to output a conventional photo at high quality
this feature is also available within the old Theta app which is no longer avail in app store (so dnt delete it)
any app that offers mirror ball might be able to do this, manually re size to suit then output or screen capture in Port or Land mode
2. multiple layers to add objects
3. interacts with several other quality photo apps of this author website
