Hi,
Some light painting, 30 second exposure and a torch. LINK.
If you look closely at the letter i, you will see me, just :wink:
Project showing exposure times: LINK.
After few seconds it changes panoramas showing panos with 10, 30 and 60 second exposures.
Things to note: At the back garden is not a sunset its light pollution from the next town :shock:
The big bright thing in the sky is the moon :D
Regards,
Hopki

Photoshop's Adobe Camera Raw converter version 9.1.1 is simple to use to correct the white balance and removing the CA from not only RAW image but also .JPG's.

Today, I will post a "How to" remove the Chromatic Aberration in your panorama.JPG using Photoshop's Adobe Camera Raw Converter.

First need to write some instructions and make some screen captures to illustrate the work flow.

Good... I found the point hotspot link to remove the Chromatic Aberration. Proper alignment of the RGB RED channel should sharpen the panorama image.

Thanks for the other software updates.

OT Sorry
but where to buy a New Ricoh Theta S 360° Spherical Digital Video Camera
it seems that no one sends to Sweden
E bay from Japan becomes quite costly +115 U.S. dollars - 107.031504 Euros
Martin did you buy it in UK ?

I've got an old copy of Photoimpact 12 somewhere - how do you remove CA from Theta 360's using it? (I have an m15).

As of 1 December 2015 we too now have a Ricoh Theta S.

Theta S take respectable full size .jpgs.

[EDIT - We use Photoshop CS6 (not CC version)]
HOW TO:

OPEN Adobe Bridge. Browse, find and select your Theta S .jpg.

RIGHT MOUSE CLICK and select OPEN with Adobe Camera Raw Converter. Bridge will start the ACR plug in and let you SAVE your corrected image AS A NEWFILE name .jpg

If you have not used Camera Raw converter before you can correct for RAW and .JPEGs Chromatic Aberration and White balance along with a host of other neat correction tricks.
