Best 360 panorama sphere software?

[thesotman]

Hi guys,
I'm looking for 360 panorama sphere software for PC.
I have a DJI Air 3 and I've used the Pano > Sphere option taking many images to stitch together.
What do you guys recommend for stitching images together to create a 360 sphere?
Thanks.

I want something that's quite easy to use.

Hugin is free, but can take a bit of fiddling.

Hugin - Panorama photo stitcher

hugin.sourceforge.io

PTGUI is excellent and quite easy to use, but costly.

Photo stitching software 360 degree Panorama image software - PTGui Stitching Software

PTGui is image stitching software for stitching photographs into a seamless 360-degree spherical or gigapixel panoramic image

ptgui.com

Panovolo seems to be fast and easy, but I have no idea what its quality is like because I can't use it on my old computer.

PANOVOLO : Panorama Stitching Tool for Drone Photography

PANOVOLO is a panorama stitching tool designed specifically for drone photography. Use it to create beautiful drone panoramas in seconds.

Photoshop and other image editing software can stitch panoramas, but not necessarily 360° spherical panoramas.

I would suggest starting with a trial version of Panovolo to see if it meets your needs. If not check out PTGUI and Hugin.

I vote for PTGUI. Even though it's a little pricey, I've never regretted getting it. Have produced many panos from both the Mavic 2 Pro and the Mavic 3 Cine. Of course then DJI in-drone processing is good too, but not as flexible or correctable as PTGUI.

Another vote for PTGui. It works superbly, gives you plenty of control... well worth the money IMO.

I use Adobe DNG Converter to convert the DNG files for use. (or use RawTherapee and colorg rade on the way)
I then stitch the converted DNG files with Microsoft Image Composie Editor (ICE),. Be sure to save the pano file using Superb for the output or Tiff format. But of course the file size is not in the correct ratio 2:1.
I use GIMP to resize the canvas to 2:1 and save with the highest Quality jpeg.
Now view in FSViewer.
All free software and I have not seen better results from any other.

The detail is as above but I have had to shrink the pano file by a factor of ten as attached

I let PTGUI generate file with the zenith left blank, then in Affinity Photo I flood-fill it with a colours of sky adjacent to it, use the Equirectangular projection to look straight up and use the inpainting tool to smooth out the area.

If you're looking for free stitching software, try Hugin. It can handle equirectangular projections.

Is the built-in 360-degree panorama stitching not working properly?
