Can you edit/photshop a photosphere? [SOLVED - Yes]

[6tr6tr]

I have a photosphere that I want to edit but I'm wondering if doing that, when you save the edited image, will it lose the photosphere data/tags inside the image and no longer be seen as a photosphere by the phone? Does anyone know if you can edit it with photoshop?

YES! You can! I opened it in GIMP, edited the photo (kept it named PANO_...) and saved it as a JPG. Then I put it on the phone and when I opened it up, it had the photosphere button and it worked!

Yeah - that Pano prefix seems to be the trigger. I bet you can name any old pic with the pano prefix and maybe you get some weird viewing options.

I'll give that a try.

I have tried using GIMP and saved it with PANO and I still can't get it to show up as a Photosphere...any suggestions?

Hey, you can take you photo sphere that you edited in GIMP and then upload it to this site and it will add the required metadata so it's recognized as a photo sphere.

Yes,
i opened a photosphere with photoshop and edited it and worked,
and i uploaded it again to Google+, and add it to Google Maps views,
it worked normally as photosphere.
