Adobe Photoshop has recently removed 3D features including the Spherical Panorama 360 photo editing mode. Oh, NOOOooo đŸ˜±

Lucky, we have you covered with this new tutorial — Let’s learn Affinity Photo together — a new and powerful alternative for Lightroom & Photoshop — you can create 360 Virtual Tours captured in Insta360 ONE X2, ONE R, Qoocam 8K, Xphase Pro X2, and Ricoh Theta Z1. We’ll cover how to use your Ricoh Theta Stitcher as a standalone application without Adobe Lightroom, on both PC and Mac. We’ll cover SEAMLESS 360 photo editing, RAW development, tripod & MIRROR removal, Content-Aware Fill, Sky replacement, using third party Photoshop Plugins in Affinity Photo like Topaz AI Suite, and even DSLR / Mirrorless 360 photography. By the end of this tutorial, you’ll feel comfortable replacing your Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom workflow with this new UPDATED workflow. Let’s dive right in!

After watching this tutorial, I hope by now, you are comfortable using Affinity Photo for your Virtual Tour production. The money saved from the Adobe subscription fee is big. And if are you just doing 360 photo, there is really no need for Photoshop.
