2 Pro My drone produced this 360° panoramic for my first attempt...it works and I posted it.

I haven't mastered the software I have (Photoshop Elements 2021/ Cyberlink PhotoDirector 365) to be able to post work the 26 Raw photo's into a more pleasing, working, finished 360° photo. I used the Mavic 2 Pro Sphere panoramic drone produced photo to post here.
It's a slow process but if anyone can help with any of these software programs to point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it much and Thank you.

I presume that's a frozen lake, if so how thick is the ice???? It must be holding up some weight in cars, people and buildings!

Frozen lake yes...I went fishing after shooting the photo's and I'm glad I have a power auger, the ice is 18 inches thick.

That's a very interesting photograph. It reminds me a little of those classic Grandma Moses paintings of snow scenes, with all the small pockets of color and activity.

Grandma Moses for the New Year — Relief: A Journal of Art and Faith

As I step into the new territory of 2017, I’d like Grandma Moses to be a guide. Her paintings teach me lessons that I want to realize, to intend and deliberate, as I go about the days of this new year.

Unsolicited comment follows. Ignore at will.
When you're shooting over snow, ice, or sand the auto exposure setting on most cameras will try to make things look "normal" by closing down a little. So you get images that are too dark and don't look like the real scene. Try opening up one or two stops and see if the result isn't more natural.

Very nice work. I would love to learn how to create a shot like that. Thanks for posting.

Question. Did you catch anything?

 

[lilewis]

Regarding post processing, it has been my experience that any program should work but there is one thing that will destroy the 360 pano: DO NOT CROP OR CHANGE ASPECT RATION IN ANY WAY. I believe all other editing functions will work fine.

Didn't actually catch any but did have a few bites and 1 up to the bottom of the ice but got off.

This looks great. I agree with @MS Coast an increase of exposure in Photoshop Elements would help make the snow white.

As a general rule, 360 photos should only have global corrections done on them. In other words, never select an area to apply a filter to, only apply changes to the whole image. There are exceptions of course, but that’s how to start.

And yes, never crop or change aspect ratio if you want it to stay 360!
