![]() ![]() If your image supplies the GPS-heading it’s also compliant with the requirements of Google-Maps. Then you have a droplet on which you can drop an equirectangular panoramic image which covers the full sphere and it gets populated with the required fields to be accepted as a photo sphere.

Of course you also have to add a filename. Start exiftool from the command-line with the following parameters: -ProjectionType="equirectangular" -UsePanoramaViewer="True" -"PoseHeadingDegrees<$exif:GPSImgDirection" -"CroppedAreaImageWidthPixels<$ImageWidth" -"CroppedAreaImageHeightPixels<$ImageHeight" -"FullPanoWidthPixels<$ImageWidth" -"FullPanoHeightPixels<$ImageHeight" -CroppedAreaLeftPixels="0" -CroppedAreaTopPixels="0" You should see the following workspace:Īs reference the next screenshot shows an already populated photo sphere:įirst install the latest version of ExifTool by Phil Harvey for your operating system. Open the Metadata panel and open the Workspace. Open the file with ExifToolGUI (Menu>Program>Workspace definition file>Load…).

Save the following lines to a path of your choice with the filename GPano.ini Then install the latest version of ExifToolGUI as described on the homepage in section “2. Be sure to get the stand-alone Windows executable, extract it to a path of your choice and rename it to exiftool.exeĪnd copy it to a location which is already part of your search path. ExifToolGUI and the GPano workspaceĪs ExifToolGUI is only available for Windows, you can skip to the other solutions if you run a different operating system on your machine.įirst install the latest version of ExifTool by Phil Harvey. ![]() Otherwise it works fine, you just have to follow the instructions on the website. Unfortunately you have to be online and you have to up- and download the files. Google set up the website, where you can upload a JPG image and populate the required metadata. For example you can do this with Geosetter on Windows, or with ExifTool. It is important to note, that you need at least latitude, longitude and the heading in the final image. ExifMetaLrPlugin for Lightroom (tested with Lr 4, read)Īs a prerequisite we assume that you already have geotagged your images.Using a custom metadata panel within Photoshop (tested with PS C6, PS CC, read and write).Using a batch file and ExifTool (command-line only, droplet for Windows available, read and write).Using ExifToolGUI, ExifTool and a special workspace definition file (Windows only, read and write).In this article I will describe several methods of writing and displaying the mandatory meta data which is used by a photo sphere. In another article, Markus already described the complete workflow which is needed to publish a panoramic image on Views and embed it into your website. Publishing geo located spherical panoramas (aka Photo Spheres) on Views. Google added a new feature to their set of web based applications recently. Outdated information has been struck through. Some information on this post is outdated! Google Views has been migrated to Google Maps / Google Street View. ![]()
