I learn form your Videos. Thank you.
Ben, I purchased your 360 course and am very glad I did. Your instructions are clear and thorough.
Thanks Amy, super happy you got value from it!
Does this mean in the video we are just fixing spot that are to bright and block details and making other shadows look softer and bettas?
Better?
Method 4: use luminosity masks to exactly merge those bracketed shots. That way you will get rid of this uneven lighting across the walls. In my eyes THAT would be a 10/10 photo.
Good tip 👍
Andreas, hi your the second person I’ve heard mention that. Is there a workflow you can show or tell us.. I’m using either the Insta360 one x or the Mi Sphere. Greatly appreciated
@@rickkremer0525 open the brackets in photoshop layers. double click one layer after another and play with the blend if sliders. look blend if up on youtube if you need help with that. :)
Hi Ben, thankyou for publishing these much needed tips..😉
Thanks for this! Super easy to follow and straight to the point!
Excellent tutorial. Needed to watch a few times but bracketing is now crystal clear.
Thank you Ben for your generous offer. May God bless you in all that you do.💪😁👍
Terrific! Thanks for the inside information!!
Didn't know raw bracketing is possible until I watch this video, results are like dslr 360 photos. Someone should compare raw bracketing of ricoh theta z1, mi sphere ans insta360onex :)
This was so helpful. I'm just starting my 360 journey. Yesterday I won an SC2 Business on eBay. Hi from Scotland 🙌🏼
I've only just started learning about current 360 Photography and Videography technologies in the last week, and your info and presentation is the perfect window into this world. Thanks !
🍻
Would it be possibly to use the dual fisheye plugin and have the photos merged for you?(Just pick +2/-2 or +3/-3) and be done?
Yup!
Excellent! Thanks Ben.
Well done I always consider you an expert, and surely your course will be useful
Thanks 🙏🏻
Thank you!! Learned a lot from your video!!
Breathless tutorial 😎
Good information.
Thanks! 🙏🏻
muy buen video me sirvió muchísimo muchas gracias Ben ! 😉 un abrazo desde Chile
I can clearly understanding what you are teaching even I am not a native english speaker
Thanks for this, may see about putting it to use. Glad you got right into the information, I’ll grab your course for sure when I can.
No worries!
Excelent tutorial Ben, very helpful as always...! 🙂
🍻
Many thanks to share this part of your course because this is challenging point. I'm always struggling with exposure specifically inside situation with windows. I never test bracketing, it looks easy with your course indeed more post-prod but the result is great. I will make test with my Theta Z1 😀Thanks again for sharing A question : can bracketing can be as well useful for exterior shoot ? or this waste of time ?
No worries! Yeah it’s a waste of time as outside is not as high contrast as inside
Hello Ben, I use my Z1 on most of my matterport scans... Could I use these editing techniques before uploading to my matterport subscription? Not sure if you would know this or not.
Very well explained! Exactly what i was looking for!👍
Ben, YOU ARE THE MAN! :) Thanks a lot for those videos as I'm learning a lot on the go! Keep it up!
🙏🏻
Great. Thanks
I LOVE YOUR EXPLANATIONS, It majes it so easy to understdnd. Ok, I'm planning to shoot VIDEO through a front window of a moving vehicle with the Insta360 using the 360Mod. The camera is also shooting the passengers, and I expect a big difference in exposure COMPARING the outside with the inside view. CAN I USE one ND16 filter facing outside to balance the sunny outside? Should I use a mini fill light for the passengers too? WHAT SETTING do you recommend and should I used HDR too ? THANKS a Mil!
Hi, Ben! Can you show a few links with your tours on the platforms of your clients? Let it be a few Instagram and Facebook accounts and sites. How entrepreneurs use 360 tours in their businesses, how it's handy and userfriendly?
thanks
You are the master thank you for another great video!!
Pleasure
Realy great video, excelent!
Hey Ben, great video! I have the Insta360 X3 & I find shooting VR tours through Matterport doesn't turn out well in lower light settings. I figured either buy the One RS One Inch or try and edit the pictures then upload to Matterport. Have you used the X3 for tours?
your awesome man... Great information and I love your Vibes.
That was a Super tip ....thnx
Great video as always Ben. It would have been really good if you had cut to at least one screenshot of the multi bracketing settings you used on the Theta Z1 for solution #3. Thanks anyhow
super helpful, thank you
I must say i really like your virtual tour pro course Ben! Its definitely worth the money! I recognize a lot of what you are saying and showing but i am also learning a lot. If people want to learn how to make good virtual tours they should watch your course. Its awsome.
Thanks Chris! Super glad you’re getting value from it 👊🏻
well done great instruction stay safe
Thanks Bene
I am new to this camera and Real Estate Photography in general, I have a question regarding this camera. Is the lens a fisheye? Is it because it's a 360 that it looks like the image is bulging from some angles?
Excellent tutorial, Ben! I can not find any info anywhere on how to combine 3 separate HDR images taken with the OneX using the desktop app. Can you make a video showing how to do this in the OneX desktop app? If not for UA-cam, at least make a tutorial for those of us who have bought your 360 course. You did say that you would update the course as the world of 360 evolves. This would be a great addition. Thanks!
thank you for this video 🙏
Pleasure
Can you make a step by step video on editing a room and how you would send to a client. And can to create it so we can follow along with you step by step. Just one example how to do video. Please and thank you.
I love this video but to fast for me to grasp.
hi Ben, thanks for your contents its very helpfull and helped me a lot.
I have one question, why is when i marged my photo, its turned into fisheyes and not in equirectangular? how do i change it to equirectangular? im using theta z1.
thanks
Good job. Thank you.
Useful content😍
Excellent tutorial on getting max dynamic range with this camera! I am new to 360 cameras for making Real Estate Virtual Tours for our listings and want to make sure of your workflow. I have the Adobe Photography Plan and noted you use the Adobe RAW module in Photoshop - but don't you also have to first use the Theta Stitcher in Lightroom, then export those files over to Photoshop for the dynamic range tweaks? Also do you have any opinion of the free VT software Marzipano? I do not want to use Zillows free 360 VT software.
Amazing information mate, I actually started to think about doing virtual tours for money, but in Brisbane real estate agents are very 'old school' and hard to engage in this! I will also try the bracketing thing. Quick question: my camera can shoot in raw (DNG files) but I have to ask - what is the benefit of it? how exactly technically does it give you better dynamic range to work with?
Thanks Guy- Raw files capture much more information than a jpg, so when it comes to colour correction you can recover highlights, shadows etc. better
Sucks I missed the chance to get your course for free!
Great video as always! Has anyone else got an issue where once they've done the HDR Merge, the Lightroom plugin won't stitch it??
Thanks- make sure you uncheck ‘align images’ when merging to HDR
Ben Claremont great stuff! Thanks Ben 👍 keep up the awesome work!
Hi Guys I have this problem tired the fix but still get the message no compatible dng file I click ok plug in dose not open so I get an unstitched tiff or whatever. Any ideas please?
Hi Ben and thanks for this video. What do you think of QooCam 8k DNG8 ? 10/10 out of the box or not better than a bunch of bracketed raw shots on QooCam8K ?
Hi Ben! I love your tutorials, and I would say that you are my mentor hahaha.
I am challenge to make a 360 VT in my local Bus Station in Argentina, where the mixed lighting is tricky, plus people walking around.
Do you have any tips for that? I am working with Mi Sphere.
Thank you Mr. Ben!
Thanks- yes my tips can be found in this video 😉
Hi Ben, I have been following you for a long time and I need to thank you for the tips and the reviews you delight us with every time.
I have a question: I have been using a theta v for almost 2 years, for photography and vt’s mostly, and I am not sure whether I should upgrade to the insta 360 one x or anything else in that price range or keep using the theta v (going further in-depth until I get the z1 for a better price). What do you suggest?
Hi, I enjoyed your video. I have the Theta V, but does not have raw, only JPEG, Is there a way of merging multiple photos to get the same result? any suggestions? Thanks
This is a great video, Ben. I am having a hard time stitching the photos after doing a merge in the Theta Z1 software - a bug perhaps? Still not getting your results, but I'll keep on it!
Thanks Katy- make sure ‘align images’ is unchecked
@@BenClaremont YES! I finally got that!! I am now using the Fisheye plug in for the Theta Z1, I quite like it.
Thank you a lot for this. It's really helping me getting closer to the kind of quality I feel confident with!
I've been having an issue in a few pictures: when I merge the bracketed panoramas in an HDR a small part of the photo gets cropped on the side so that when I turn it into a 360 in photoshop the resulting image looks as if badly stitched. I thought it could be Camera Raw's IA that crops out small details as it cannot see them in the really low exposure ones, but not sure. What's your take? Any tips in how to get around it?
Cheers!
I've seen this video many times and keep wondering...in the 3 image bracketing example, it looks like you're merging the dual fisheye images. In the 9 bracket merge, it looks like you're merging the equirectangular images. Does it matter which type of images you merge? It's obviously easier if you merge the dual fisheyes. Then you only have to stitch once. Otherwise you have to stitch each one first. Thanks..
With the Z1, stitching is done after bracketing :)
@@BenClaremont Perfect! Thanks for clarifying!
Hi Ben, you recommend this camera for real estate indoor photos? is there anything better upcomming in `20? Also can u tell me what is the format of edited hdr brackets? the final format witch can be uploaded? 10x a lot in advance!
How do you take 360 picture of small square area (like small toilets) and which camera to use for this ?
Thank you Ben for everything, I am a French photographer and I will take your training well, but only I speak very very bad English ... As usual you can't find anything in French... I'll follow you in translation ...😂👏
Could try a video translating website to get these videos in French (like votch.tv or a similar one)
I would give the image a 10 out of 10 if there wasn't this green and magenta color cast on the ceiling. With my Z1 images I have the exact same problem. It is fixable in Lightroom, but takes a lot of editing time with each image. Any suggestions?
Actually here it was 100% my screen recording software causing that colour banding... I was able to easily remove it in photoshop, it just didn’t show 100% accurately.
I've done this before. But i tried today again with 3 photos and exported the DNG file. How do you get the 360 jpeg after you bracket it? TIA
Did anyone else think the exposure correction at 0:12 looks better before then after??
Nope just you 😂
Hi Ben, I considering Z1.Feature I am looking for AUTO RAW bracketing . It seems from your video it doesn't support this. Am I correct ?
Hey yes it does.. you just need to wait like 20-30 seconds for the sequence to fire off
Hi! You do not show in the video how to export the HDR after merging the photos in Adobe Camera Raw. I am using the Insta360 OneX2. After merging the images, I try to export the .dng file from Adobe Camera Raw and when trying to open it in Insta360 Studio, it says that the file is not compatible. How to skitch HDR after merging images? I couldn't do it inside Adobe Camera Raw. Where and how do I do this last step?
Welcome to Barcelona!
so you edit first in LR or PS, save it as DNG, Open in Insta360 Studio to stitch or create the 360? I'm using Insta360 Pro X
Hi Ben. Amazing vid. This method i supposed dont work when doing a scan with matterport though?
Thanks! Although no unfortunately Matterport doesn’t allow manual control of the camera, nor the editing at this point.
Quick question, b/c i bought your Virtual Tour Pro ( which kicks butt). But I have a quick question, when shooting with the Insta360 One x. Do you stitch first then perform the HDR merge? Or is it the other way around like you’ve shown using your Theta?? thank you Mr. Ben
Thanks Rick- stitch first 👍
Ben Claremont thank you mr. Ben.
Great tips!. What was the difference in exposure across your 7 exposures; half a stop difference between each one?
It’s hard to say exactly as you don’t have an inbuilt exposure meter with 360 cams.. but the goal was around 1-2 stops per bracket. Although it depends on the situation as to how big the gaps are :)
What is the price of the pro course and what to do when people/company’s hesitate let create a tour because of security (cameras, sensors and stuff like that)?
Hey Stephan, you can find a price list in the link in the description.. and you can edit sensitive material out of your shots. If it’s that sensitive then you probably shouldn’t shoot there to begin with. Otherwise it’s pretty easy to remove stuff. All is covered in the course 👍
Hi thanks for the video - I have a insta 360x and have 2 questions: 1. does it have the auto bracket option 2. How do you export a 360 photo after editing it in adobe photoshop? - thanks!
Is there a setting in the Theta Z1 for doing automatic RAW plus bracketing? So far I find the HDR setting is yielding better shots than RAW, which confuses my photographer brainsac.
After I marge my photos and I try to stitch them in lightroom with Ricoh theta plugin I got info. photo can't be stitch because of the size. Any Idea what is this about?
great tips. does anyone work with AuroraHDR? When I bring my bracketed RAW shot in, I can merge them and correct them, BUT whatever I save the file as, the insta app does not open the file...
Thank you for a very informative video. I seriously don’t understand the 10 thumbs down?????
Thanks Terry- there are always haters looming. It actually adds to my video’s SEO so I don’t care lol
I know you say it was a difficult lighting condition, but the final result looks pretty bad in terms of white balance. I know you were showing just a quick and easy edit, but if that's all you are doing, Photoshop is overkill if you don't use some of their more advanced tools to address some of the color casts on the walls and ceiling. The room has warm lighting from the lamps yet it's very cool due to the natural light. I would say the room should be made to look a bit warmer. When shooting, one thing you could also try is shooting a properly exposed shot with the windows closed to see how the room looks with one color of light and see if you could blend the luminosity of the window light.
Actually that’s 100% the fault of my screen recording software- colours look fine on my iMac screen.
Hi Ben, great video! It is possible to use the same method with Qoocam 8k?
Thanks- yes it is
can you do this with the gopro 360 as well?
Are you still using this bracketing method or is it better to just use Dual Fisheye's HDRDNG 9?
Dual Fisheye :)
Ben Claremont thank you kind sir. I’ve learned a lot from you and still am!
Ben, do you have a list of topics included in your Virtualtourpro course? And also, would it be possible to later upgrade form one pack to another by paying difference in price?
Yes- you can see an overview of the course in the link in the description, if you want more then go to courses.virtualtourpro.com and choose ‘virtual tour pro’ where it will give you a full outline. And yeah you can get the extra modules later, however it won’t be as cheap 👍
@@BenClaremont May I also ask when 3D Vista tutorial will be added?
As soon as I can get it done.. there is more than enough software tutorials in there already- also 3DVista have a massive UA-cam channel of their own too 👍
Hey Ben, I am using the trick you did by manually taking 3-5 exposures in RAW mode and stitching them after. I am getting an error saying that my pictures are not a certain size when I try to stitch the merged photo... I thought it was one of my dual fisheyes that was causing the problem, but I was able to stitch all f them perfectly fine. It was only encountered when I tried stitching the merged HDR photo. Please Let me know of as soon as you can.
Hi Ben, after you do the HDR merge in photoshop, how do you get the Ricoh stitcher plugin to work? I made sure ‘align images’ is unchecked but when I try to use the stitcher plugin I get an error message saying "no compatible dng file." Is there a fix for that?
Is there a dng file in the folder you’re adding the jpg from? And does it have the same name?
Good stuff!! What monopod do you use? And, do you remove it from the photos?
DNG File type not supported error in Lightroom.
Shooting in bracket mode Theta Z1 when I merge to HDR in photoshop raw then try and stitch from stitcher in Lightroom it says DNG file type not supported can anyone help please is their a way to stitch direct from photoshop raw?
I just bought the Theta Z1 and can not find the built in HDR mode. Everything works as you have shone except that. What am I missing.
It’s in jpg mode, access it in the bottom right menu
Hi Ben, Thanks for this video! it's very helpful and informative! I would like to ask, how do I set up or manage bracketing using the mi sphere camera? for some reason when I did my 3D tour using this camera the bracketing was not working. Thanks for your reply.
Hey- what do you mean by not working?
You've changed my mind on which camera I'd prefer for virtual tours, and just stumbled upon this video while looking around at your other videos. It says I could watch your virtual tour help for free, but when I click it it wants a few hundred bucks... Any ideas brother?
Hey- my course is not free... perhaps you saw something else that was free. I have many offerings :)
How do you get rid of the light on the dark window frames. In your final shot they are still there.
what is the name of the app you use in your phone to make the 360 photos?
The one thing I hate about HDR is that the walls and ceiling looks like it's covered with splotchy mold. 7:25
That’s my fault for over saturating.. HDR doesn’t affect colour that much, it’s more brightness and darkness
@@BenClaremont No, its not your fault. It"s not really a color problem either, it's a value problem. What used to be one smooth, gradation (a plain white wall or ceiling) is now a very uneven, splotchy one. It's inherent in all HDR.
Most cameras still don't use the base ISO. The #1 tip is, force the camera to its base ISO. Then bracket with base ISO for every image. Cameras like the One X, wont do this unless you force the ISO to its base #.
If I want to get into virtual tours of real estate what courses should I take I can see that you know a lot in photography where editing photos is there something that I should be studying in order to do this
Hi Greg, I’d strongly suggest picking up my Virtual Tour Pro course (link in description) as it will teach you everything you need to get up and running 👍
Hi. Is it possible to make these kinds of edits and still upload your images to matterport platform? Without using their capture app to scan the images? Thanks
Curious if there's a way to do this with video? I'm doing a tour of a college facility with big bright windows.
Hey. Can photos taken with INSTA 360 ONE X from a film that are processed in PS be used in the matterport system? If so, how to do it?
I've noticed you edit your raw photos before stitching, why is this? what program do you use later to stitch those images?
This sound dumb to ask but I’m having a real problem with noise . And I don’t know how to convert my images to panorama images instead of those black circle images
Use your camera’s stitching software 👍
I was able to get camera raw but how do you view the pictures in the “film strip”
Hi Ben. I'm shooting with an Insta 360 One X. When I bring my 360 images into Photoshop they appear as 2 round images instead of the pano view like yours. Is this due to a setting on the camera or a setting in photoshop? How can I correct this?
OK, I found that if I bring in the 3060 image into the Insta360 Studio and then save it I can open it in Photoshop as a pano. Wish there was a way to skip that step so if you are aware of a way to open it directly into Photoshop please share. Thanks!
So the hight & the position of the camera should be still? (Can not move)
Correct
Ben Claremont Thanks
Mr. Ben. Hi I know this video has been out quite a while, but I’m hoping you have a solution for issues when shooting Bracketed DNG using Insta360 OneX2. The issue I keep getting is stacking raw files creates very noticeable seam lines throughout the image. Each raw DNG has shows major chromatic errors or a distinct lines around all the stitch lines. When insta 360 Studio 2022 merges the dng it’s awful. If I shoot the same stacked HDR using JPG the stitching eliminates this error but then I loose the edit capability as it’s a baked image. So.. have you ran across this, and if so any suggestions for a HDR bracketed DNG workflow? Thanks.
Hi Rick, One X2 shots don’t need to be merged manually since it does it automatically in the stitching software. Safe yourself time and hassle 😉
