Extracting previews with stamped logo

[Carlos Chegado]

When using Pano2VR to extract previews from my equirectangular files I use Pano2VR droplets that I have already setup in my machine and that works well, but, if I want to watermark these files, I have to go to one additional step in Photoshop.

I wonder what's keeping Pano2VR from having an option to watermark the outputted transformations, i.e. rectilinear previews?

Ideally, we would select a .png file to use as a watermark and point point where it would be stamped in relation to the margins of the created image.

I know that I can do all this on Photoshop, and that's the way I do it, but being Pano2VR the jack of all slices when it comes to cut and spit out 360 Panoramas, why can't I do the Watermarking step too?

Thanks in advance...

Hi
You can add your water mark using the Patch Editor, then as you remap it will add the watermark.
Just extract a patch, open in photoshop then add a layer, then make your watermark in the new layer. Remove the image layer leaving the watermark layer, save and then add to the droplet using the same Pan, Tilt and FoV of the patch.

This will then output all remaps with the watermark which should not be distorted.

I have a similar issue

I have stitched equirectangular file and want to watermark and patch nadir.
Patching works fine but watermark does not ?

Workflow:
Equi: 6000x3000px tif
Patch: Custom psd/tif
Patch: 6000x3000px png

Output: equirectangual jpg

Eventually I setup the FOV wrongly (actually 90)
Any suggestions ?

As claimed above: I can do it in Photoshop but would appreciate to get rid of that additional step

Hi,
I have attached a p2vr file and image.
Open the p2vr file then open the batch window.
Drop your 6000 x 3000 panos in and click run.

It will output all the panos with the watermark image added.

You can add more patches with different pan and tilt to add more watermarks to the output.
Of course Im outputting an Equirec, output a strip or cubes which is a better input projection for Pano2VR

Hi
thx
nice solution, didn't think of using patches per cubic


why did you choose FoV 40 ? any special reason ?
