Photographers shooting panoramas with DSLRs/Mirrorless rigs take an extra nadir shot, or zenith shot in the case of drone shots and stitch it in along with the image set. This is of course, the best way. But if it’s a one-shot panorama such as this one shot with a Ricoh Theta Z1 it can be easier to patch it with Photoshop Ai Generative fill. But how do you do that now that Adobe has remove the 3D environment?
There are many ways to extract patches, Pano2VR, Pano2QTVR for windows, PtGui, Flexify 2, and Supercubic. But you can do it inside Photoshop manually or by using the actions provided below.
These actions will patch the nadir and/or zenith of a panorama. It works by using the Polar Filter, then prompts you to retouch the area, then when finished retouching, it will convert just the retouched area back to the equirectangular projection. It leaves you with the base layer plus the last retouched area which you can flatten or save if you wish.
error happen when using zenit action
Make sure you have Photoshop 2025 and there is only one layer and no extra channels. If can tell me more about how the problem happened or any messages, I can try to diagnose the problem.
