Best Software for Creating 360 Images and Illustrations

azsafety

It seemed like Photoshop was the go to for both images and creating custom 360 images. Adobe has stated they are moving away from that and these features will soon be discontinued. Does anyone have advice on what the best software to use would be for stitching, manipulating images, and creating 360 vector images? Thanks

We do not have any specific recommendations for editing software, but we have found that the editing software that accompanies 360 cameras such as GoPro or Insta360 do work well. We would be happy to hear what applications you find and what you like about them!

For a short time, a Technology Preview preference can be used to emulate the last known working state for 3D features. Go to Photoshop > Preferences > Technology Previews and check the box “Deactivate Native Canvas”, and restart Photoshop.
