Create 360-Degree Panoramas (Photoshop Extended) - Adobe Photoshop CS6 User Manual

Photoshop creates one multi-layer image from the source images, adding layer masks as needed to create optimal blending where the images
overlap. You can edit the layer masks or add adjustment layers to further fine tune the different areas of the panorama.
To replace empty areas around image borders, use a content-aware fill. (See Content-aware, pattern, or history fills.)

Create 360-degree panoramas (Photoshop Extended)

Combine Photomerge with 3D features to create a 360-degree panorama. First, you stitch together the images to create a panorama; then you use
the Spherical Panorama command to wrap the panorama so it's continuous.
Be sure to photograph a full circle of images with sufficient overlap. Photographing with a pano head on a tripod helps produce better results.

1. Choose File > Automate > Photomerge.
2. In the Photomerge dialog box, add the images you want to use.
Do not include images that cover the top (zenith) or bottom (nadir) of the scene. You'll add these images later.
3. Select Spherical for the Layout.
If you photographed with a fisheye lens, select the Auto layout and Geometric Distortion Correction. If Photoshop cannot automatically
identify your lens, download the free Adobe Lens Profile Creator from the Adobe website.
4. (Optional) Select Vignette Removal or Geometric Distortion for the Lens Correction.
5. Click OK.
There might be transparent pixels on the edges of the panoramic image. These can prevent the final 360 panorama from wrapping correctly.
You can either crop the pixels out or use the Offset filter to identify and remove the pixels.
6. Choose 3D > New Shape From Layer > Spherical Panorama.
7. (Optional) Manually add the top and bottom images into the sphere. You could also paint out any remaining transparent pixels in the 3D
spherical panorama layer.
