After creating image sequences for Panoramax or similar services, you may wish to cover the area around the lower centre of the 360° images – known as the – in a suitable manner. This could be to obscure your own silhouette or to insert a logo or watermark there. If you look at various 360° images on relevant websites, you will find many different solutions.

Software such as the Nadir-Patcher is relatively easy to use and, once the required parameters have been determined, delivers good results.
