#Ptgui nadir viewpoint software
Just click on the below image to see the complete sphere with the logo.I know stitching software has been discussed several times, so if I'm boring you: feel free to ignore me. Sadly wordpress will not let me embed a sphere from so I can only show the flat image in this post. If you are interested please use the contact page to send me an email. I created the logo used in this post as well as the ECHO logo on my page. If you don’t have a logo yet I do some freelance logo design and can create a simple logo for a small fee, the actual fee will depend on the amount of work that is required.

You have now added your logo or other nadir patch to your sphere, upload to the site of your choice and enjoy. Create your panorama using the output settings of your choice.TIP: If you used -90 earlier to add a zenith logo then you would set the pitch to 90 This will rotate the image so that the nadir is in the middle and relatively flat allowing you to past a logo. Go to the Image Parameters tab and set the pitch to -90.If you have not already done so click on the Advanced button now to switch to advanced view.Start a new project in PTGui and load the sphere with your logo as the source image.Now you need to edit the sphere again in PTGui to correct the orientation. TIP: If you keep the layers it will be easier to edit later but you can flatten the image if you wish to save space TIP: Your logo should be circular and use transparency TIP: If your logo does not appear to be the right size it is best to delete it and re-size it in the logo file then re-past it into the sphere TIP: If you are using CS it should paste the logo into the center of the sphere which is where you want it, if you are using PSE or GIMP you may have to re position it.

#Ptgui nadir viewpoint how to
These are both paid programs but you should be able to do the same process with open source software such as Hugin and GIMP, I will try to do another post later showing how to do this with open source. What you needed:Īdobe Photoshop (I use CS6 but PSE should also work) No matter what your reason I hope this process helps you out. There are a few reasons you may want to edit either the nadir or zenith of the sphere which may include wanting to add a log, you did not point your camera high or low enough and ended up with holes in your sphere, you have parallax issues at the nadir, or many other things. The zenith is the top point of the sphere or the place directly above you when you take the pictures. I have taken the process and modified it to only edit the nadir making it easier to position your logo.įirst off it helps to know what the nadir and zenith are The nadir is the bottom point of the sphere, this should be the place below your feet or tripod when you are taking the pictures. While the process described in the article from was easy to follow since it does not focus on either the nadir or zenith it is actually a little difficult to properly position your logo and you may end up with it just a little off-center. This is something I have been trying to figure out how to do for a while now and could not find an easy how to until I stumbled across Edit zenith and nadir in one go with PTGui from. Today I am going to show how you can add a logo to the nadir of a photosphere. This will be my first how-to post and hopefully not my last.
