Removes moving objects from 3 images

Orthogonal mode for seamless editing (Android only)

Solves annoying seam issue after post editing

How to use (iOS)

1. Launch this app and click the gray icon

2. Choose the image

3. You can manually fine-tune until it's perfectly leveled. Horizontal center can be also changed.

4. Hit save icon, then the image is saved in /edit360/ folder.

How to use (Android - Basic mode)

Normal leveling

1. Open an image on your gallery app (Quickpic & Google Photos are recommended)

2. Send it to this app via share menu (normally the icon with connected 3 dots)

3. Image is *automatically leveled based on exif data. (*automatic leveling = RICOH THETA only)

4. You can manually fine-tune until it's perfectly leveled. Horizontal center can be also changed.

5. Hit save icon, then the image is saved in /Pictures/ folder.

*Auto batch processing

1. Select multiple images on your gallery app, then send them to this app via share menu.

2. Images are *automatically leveled based on exif data. (*automatic leveling = RICOH THETA only)

3. They are saved in /Pictures/ folder w/o interruption.

*Do not apply this mode to the images not captured by RICOH THETA.

How to use (Android - Advanced mode)

Unlock advanced mode first. Click the wrench icon at bottom right, then turn on advanced mode. Quit the app, and re-launch. Now you can see following 5 advanced modes.

Normal mode

Same as normal leveling in basic mode, but you can also handle multiple images sequentially.

Auto mode

Exactly same with auto batch processing in basic mode.

Anchor mode

You can level the first image only. Then exactly the same leveling parameter is applied to all remaining images. This is for advanced users (e.g. HDR image stacking, or time-lapse).

Object removal mode

This is a useful feature for real-estate purpose. By comparing 3 images, app detects moving objects and remove them automatically. This mode is only available if you send 3 images at once.

Orthogonal decomp. mode

If you are frustrated by annoying seam after editing 360 images (e.g. HDR effect), or want to remove tripod at the bottom easily, this mode is for you.

This mode exports (decompose) two images at the end. One looks normal 360 image, and the other one is oddly 90 degree rotated (bottom comes to front). Edit these two images by external image editor (e.g. snapseed, adobe photoshop express), then go to orthogonal comp. mode.

Orthogonal comp. mode

This is the mode just to merge back (composite) decomposed two images. After editing with external image editor, share those edited two images to this app and apply this mode. Then you won't see either seam or tripod any more.

Following examples may explain orthogonal mode better.
