Hello and thank you for all the advice on this forum.
I have enjoyed producing spherical panoramas with my Mavic 2 Zoom and the .jpg files automatically generated are quite extraordinary. No problems there at all.
What I have not been able to do, however, is manually stitch the .dng raw files that have been saved and which might give me a better quality result.
There are 25x .dng images saved and I have failed miserably to stitch them with any success to achieve the .jpg result that the clever little drone can do all by itself!! (I like a challenge).
MS ICE looks like a useful piece of software but I cannot get it to stitch the 25 images in a sensible order and assume that I must need to enter some specific settings that I have not been able to work out.
I also played with Hugin and failed, and also tried PtGui and floundered with Photoshop.
Ideally, someone can tell me, step by step, how to generate a 360 Spherical image that works as well as the automatically generated one. There are a few tutorials on the web but non seemed to work with the 25 images generated by the Zoom.
Incidentally, having created a spherical panorama / tiny planet, I had to find some way to share it, preferably free, and after a lot of searching found kuula Melbourn 360 October 2019 and panoraven Sharing my new 360-degree photo ?. Of the two, kuula seemed a bit better. On my PC one viewer was interesting to use - Go Pro VR Player.
