How To Remove A Tripod From 360 Photos In Photoshop

- UPDATE: If you're using Photoshop CC, I've made an updated tutorial here: • My Raw Editing Workflo... that is non-destructive.
Just a quick video to show you how I remove the tripod from my Insta360 One X photos.
Though the Insta360 Studio bit at the beginning is exclusive to Insta360 files, this technique will work with any rectilinear 360 image that you need to remove a tripod from.
4 years old and it still holds up! Thank you so much!
Thank you! I was about to buy a $60 image editing app just to do this. And I learned how to make actions, thank you again!
Happy to help (and to save you some cash along the way)!
I want to like this twice - been really struggling to find a quick way! Thanks :)
Happy to hear it helped. I’m planning to do an update to this technique with a few new tricks, so keep an eye out.
@@drewcain thanks so much! you are the dude!!!!
After I commented on your video about the 3d-Workflow in Photoshop I now found this video. This Action in Photoshop is awesome! Actually much easier for my kind of usage than the 3D-Workspace! thanks a lot! Your video deserves more than 6k views!
Sharing is caring. I appreciate your kindness. Hats off to you bro
You deserve much more views. Thanks a lot mate.
Merci!
Excellent! Especially for 16-bit images. Thanks!
You're welcome!
Great. Thanks.
Thank you so much! This "Polar Coordinates" filter was mind blowing
Thanks Florian, I'm glad it was helpful, and YES Polar Coordinates, although a weird little tool otherwise, for 360's it's exactly what we needed!
@@drewcain Still using your tip one year later! That for sure is Polar Coordinate a weird tool which I wonder in which other cases has been made for. I wonder how you came up with this idea! Thanks again "Clone Away Dude!!!"
This has been very helpful. Thank You! I believe the distorting to and from polar coordinates does degrade the quality of the image somewhat. I get around this by masking out most of the new layer to allow the original background layer to show through...
That’s exactly what I’m doing now as well, but I’m also creating the mask before I unwind it so I have a perfectly matching mask for my change which minimizes the minor detail loss to just where the edit was done. I’m planning an updated version of this vid to show those little tricks. Thanks for the comment!!
That makes sense. Smart. ;) Today, I've been adding projection data to the metadata according to this video: th-cam.com/video/38xpXgWg3rc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=y-VnwHR6-Jkn4Ew6 so Facebook will display it correctly, but, that does not work as an action, as far as I can figure out... I have to do it manually with each photo.
Thank you! And excellent tutorial and the results - even with a patterned floor - were pretty much flawless.
Thanks Matthew. Be sure to check out the updated version of this video (link in the description) for the newer and far more useful CC version where you can do your repairs with a lot more accuracy and non-destructively.
I am a property photographer, and have been trying for ages to figure out a way to remove the tripod on difficult floors such as tiled bathrooms. Carpet etc is easy, using 'Touch Retouch' on the phone, but it cant do complicated cloning. This will save client complaints and will simplify my workflow lots. Cheers
So glad you found it useful Garry! Thanks for the comment.
Thanks dude! Really helpful video.
I am wondering, It's just me or when you do that I lose sharpness. Compare with the copy layer. I clearly see this action creates destructive micro distortions. and lose in detail. Or it's just me?
No, it's not just you. The wrapping and unwrapping process is technically re-rendering your image and as is typical with massive transformations, small degredations can and do occur. To mitigate this, I recommend duplicating your image, running the action on the top copy then adding a layer mask to restore everything but where you removed your tripod. This way the bulk of your image remains unchanged. It's an extra step, but if you're seeing visible losses in sharpness it's worth the extra minute of work. Hope that helps.
Great video, I have always wanted to know of to fix these. You make it look so effortless. Thank you for sharing your skills!
GREAT tutorial, thank you!
You’re most welcome Tommy.
Thanks Drew. Really helpful. Cheers!
You're very welcome. Glad it was helpful!
I never comment, but I had to. Dude your awesome. Thanks you.
Thanks for the awesome comment Mark!
@@drewcain after I export my 360 photos to jpg from Insta360 studio and then open them in photoshop..how can I export them from photoshop without the warning "file format must be saved as a copy because it will not save all the document layers?"
I believe if you flatten all your layers before export you can avoid the warning dialogue OR if you use File > Save For Web and use the JPG High Preset and max out the quality there, you should also get no dialog (even if you have layers in your file).
Absolutely excellent video guide. Helped me out so much.
Such a great useful tuto with good mood and deep explainations !
Thanks you !
Fantastic work buddy
exactly what I was looking for! tahnks!!!!
Excellent and will try it since I just got the camera.
Congrats on the new camera Cath, and good luck in your editing!
very valuable content! this is a time saver! much appreciated 🙌🏻👏🏻
Thanks! I'm glad you found it useful.
Thanks, dude, you made my life a lot easier.
Glad I could help!
Solid tutorial. Thanks.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This has made workload 100x faster for me!
You're welcome Michael! So glad it helped you!
Wow, very practical teaching!
Thanks Jason!
Amazing tutorial, thanks a lot!!
Glad you liked it!
hi Drew, what kind of monopod are you using in this video?
It's actually not a proper monopod, but a Manfrotto Pixi Mini Tripod with the Insta360 Extended Selfie Stick screwed onto it. Hope that helps.
I tried this workflow on my PS2022 but only the lasso portion of the image inverts when I revert polar coordinate to rectangular.
Drew, after the tripod is removed from the image is it possible to reopen the file in the GoPro Player? Can't reopen the edited files.
Hey Tom, I don’t actually know as I don’t use GoPro Player. It’s possible that when you re-save the file the original meta data is overwritten and GoPro player isn’t recognizing it as a GoPro 360 image. Outside of that guess I have no idea ;) ... Sorry I’m not more help.
Thank you brother!
Wow thank you! This was very helpful.
You’re welcome Jessica! I’m glad you found it useful.
Incredible. Thank you!!!
I love your enthusiasm! ;) You’re most welcome!!
Absolutely awesome work flow!!
Can you make a pricing tutorial?
Hey Carlos, pricing for what exactly? Fine art prints? 360 work? ... just want to make sure I'm clear on what you're after :)
@@drewcain
Oh, 360 work
If a video will be too much of a hassle, maybe a run down of how to charge ? Cant seem to find any videos that will help learn what's the going rates.
I'm new to the 360 photography industry
That’s a tough question to answer, but mostly because the 360 work we do is often folded into a bigger photo or video wrapper and is never the primary point of our client work. I highly recommend checking out Ben Claremont’s channel. As far as I’m concerned he puts out some of the best 360 tutorial content on TH-cam and I’m sure he’s got a far better idea about pricing 360 packages specifically. Here’s his channel th-cam.com/video/itMIHnxZGOs/w-d-xo.html
@@drewcain
Alright cool thank you for sharing 😊
thank you!!!!!! you helped me a ton
Glad I could help!
Such a helpful tip & so easy!
Glad you think so!
thanks for this beautiful tutorial, but to save the photo in 360 degrees what should you do??? Photoshop exports the photo in JPEG format in a simple panoramic photo and not in 360 degrees.
The final rectangular file IS what you want to save out as .jpg for 360 use. The wrapping and 360 functionality of the image is actually handled by the program you will be inputting the file into not the by the file itself. For example, if you load it into a VR Headset or Facebook 360 or a virtual tour website, those applications will automatically wrap your image into a 360 sphere from the rectangular .jpg you upload.
@@drewcain I tried it on facebook, but it loads as a normal panoramic photo
Great tutorial, thanks 👏👏👏
Good video. But why wouldnt you just use 'New Panorama Layer'?
Great question! Because not everyone is using a current version of Photoshop (and Panorama Layers are a fairly recent feature - 2018ish) and the question that prompted this video was from a CS6 user so I wanted to make sure they'd be able to follow along. Thanks for mentioning Pano Layers though -- I'm working on a video about the new Insta360 One X2 and I'll be sure to include a section them there.
Great still good today but how do you save the picture that it still works as exemple lets say in FB as 360 photo? because if i hot save i can not choose JPG
If you're working in Photoshop, there's no reason you can't save this as a .jpg. If you're not seeing that option in your Save dialog try the keyboard shortcut Command - Option - S (Cmd - Alt - S on PC). Adding the Option/Alt to the shortcut will give you more format options including .jpg. You could also use the "Save for Web" function, which is hidden now for some reason, but that shortcut is Command - Option - Shift - S (Cmd - Alt - Shift - S on PC I think). And from there you can choose the JPG High preset. Hope that helps.
@@drewcain working in photoshop last version from today but they changed it you can not choose jpg if you push save you have to push save an choose there save copy then you can save it as jpg i found it yesterday thx fior the answer!
Magnifique! Merci!
Je vous en prie!
Amazing dude! Thanks! 🌟
Great VDO!
Thank you!
You’re welcome Patrick!
You're awesome dude!!!
Thanks Drew
Perfect job!
Thank you!
love that. thank you so much
I am grateful for this education. It will make my life easier as a Google Street View Certified photographer. Thank you very much Mr. Drew Cain!'
You're very welcome!
Thanks - Awesome!!
I just noticed that Ps blurs out the image when you do that. Check out the details of your image when you zoom in.
Yep Skysink it does -- this tutorial was made for a subscriber who was using a much older version of Photoshop and at that point we weren't able to use smart objects and newer technology to do this non-destructively. If you check the video description you'll find a link to my full non-destructive 360 workflow --- guaranteed no blur :) th-cam.com/video/Kd73GYemVgQ/w-d-xo.html
@@drewcain thanks a lot!
Camera is so cool this is what i also wonder in the previous video
It's like I read your mind :)
Great way to edit, but the end result after distorting the pano is hurting the sharpness of the picture, I don´t see that happening to you
Hey Damian, it's possible that with certain images you'll loose just a tiny bit of sharpness (I don't think they ever meant the Polar Coordinates filter to be used this way). If you find you're loosing detail try duplicating your layer first, running the tripod removal process on the top copy, then add a black mask and using a white soft brush on the mask add back just the areas that you need to remove the tripod from. For most images this extra step should work perfectly and usually when the tripod is on the floor or carpet, nobody's going to notice a loss of sharpness in just that tiny area.
*NOTE: You'll probably want to select both layers first and use Edit > Auto Align Layers because it's common to get a slight shift in pixels (like 1px in one direction or the other) when wrapping and unwrapping an image with Polar Coordinates.
@@drewcain thanks for the response, it is exactly what I did, created a mask, inverted the layer and brushed it, works really good
@@wildpeaksofficial Happy to hear you got it figured out!
Top man DUDE!!!
thanks !
Thats very goood!!!
Those who want to skip the 5 minutes intro talking, start watching from 5:33. You are welcome.
doesnt work
Tobias, I'm not sure what you're doing wrong, but this absolutely still works in the most recent version of Photoshop (v24.0.1 - late 2022).
@@drewcain sorry actually 😂i watched 4 times the video and i just saw that when i am doing the lasso tool, when I am finished I have to click on it so that it disappears and then you can do back the polar thing. Thxx so much it worked at the end and. I didnt have to work much harder :(
:)))) *
Perfect, thank you so much!
Thank you!
