I recently captured a VT of business that's located on the 2nd floor of a business building. There's a stairway to the left and an elevator to the right upon entering the lobby. However, there's an existing business on the 1st floor that my client would like "blurred out," (see attached) or additional information that specifies the stairs and elevator. As a photographer, it would so easy to do. However, has anyone done this before? Would importing this shot into Affinity Photo > Convert to Equirectangular > Brush out the Business name & Add additional information > Export work? Thank you in advance for any of your input/resolve/experience with this issue (see attached) Doug

Here's a Pano captured last weekend with the Insta360 X5. The aerial 360 captured with DJI MAVIC 2 PRO drone. As usual, critiques welcome. HINT: contructive feedback makes each of us better at our craft https://app.cloudpano.com/tours/b13MUAxET

DepthMaps are killing me. I have create a small 3 picture tour. One set has depthmaps uploaded the other does not. https://360.patriotdrones.media/tours/g3QSbLIZ-1 I would really like to hear everyones thought on this. ----------------------------------------------------- I used the Depth Anything V2 Base max resolution of 512 I wonder if this is the problem. ---------------------------------------------------------- Below are my options for the depthmaps: Depth-map model options - Depth Anything V2 Small — Commercial use allowed; Apache 2.0 license. A practical lightweight option when you need quicker processing. - Depth Anything V2 Base — Non-commercial only under CC BY-NC 4.0; likely offers stronger results than Small but should not be used in paid client projects. - Depth Anything V2 Large — Non-commercial only under CC BY-NC 4.0; the larger model option, but not suitable for commercial delivery. - MiDaS 3.0 Large — Commercial use allowed under the MIT license. - MiDaS 3.1 Large — Commercial use allowed under the MIT license; a solid choice for professional image batches. - ZoeDepth ZoeD_N — Commercial use allowed under MIT; trained with the NYU Depth V2 dataset, which generally makes it a sensible option for indoor scenes. - ZoeDepth ZoeD_K — Commercial use allowed under MIT; trained with the KITTI dataset, making it relevant to outdoor/street-like imagery. - ZoeDepth ZoeD_NK — Commercial use allowed under MIT; trained on both NYU and KITTI and described by the developer as the most versatile ZoeDepth option. - Depth Pro — Available as another model-weight option; its download is nearly 2 GB, and the add-on currently runs it on CPU only rather than GPU. Other depth options - Depth-map styles — The product advertises 17 styles, so you can create alternate visual interpretations of each estimated depth map rather than being limited to one grayscale result. - Batch sources — Process a directory of still images or video, then save the generated maps locally without relying on an external API. - GPU acceleration — Optional GPU support is available through CUDA for NVIDIA GPUs or MPS for Mac GPUs; if no compatible GPU is detected, it falls back to CPU. - CPU-only workflow — You can explicitly disable GPU use, and Depth Pro is presently CPU-only regardless.

https://360.patriotdrones.media/tours/5w9F5kvEj -I have been working on different altitude perspectives to show the difference. Between 50', 100',200',300' & 400' from my one of my drones. I am loving how the drones see to follow you as you go. I am open to suggestions. I need to add the depthmaps to this still to see if they help any.

I everyone! I've just started a 360 business and am figuring out how to price and package etc. I've decided that I will charge people for the 360 photos as individual photos rather than a tour. Then offer a "virtual tour subscription" where the photos that they have purchased are linked into a tour for a monthly subscription fee. Thoughts?
