PanoPainter

After the recent development and a surprisingly pleasant support experience, I've decided to update this review and change its rating to Positive. It would seem the developer is passionate about this project in the best way possible, and tries to fix bugs as quickly as possible. In fact the one I reported had just been fixed in the lates update. And I even got my corrupted file recovered. That I think is very deserving of recommendation. In the end this app has already proven itself useful to me in production. And even though it isn't perfect, the continued development keeps getting it closer. Anyone interested in making or editing panoramic images should give this app a shot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Original review for continuity to make sense: This is a very unique and very promising piece of software, with a lot of potential up ahead. However in its current state I cannot recommend it. It is extremely unstable, likes to crash a lot and guarantees the corruption of project files if it happens to crash during saving. And it also tends to corrupt the automatically generated recovery files, ultimately defeating their purpose. (Suggestion for devs: Never write directly into the project file while saving an existing project. Make it so that it saves into a temporary file first and only then after it's successfuly done allow it to overwrite the original project file.) My pc may perhaps not be the strongest, which could have contributed to the many problems, but I've run much more demanding software in the past with little to no issues, so I doubt it makes that big of an impact. Hopefully future versions will improve some of the stability issues. Stability aside, the tools themselves seem quite decent with a good variety of options. Although there seem to be no predefined presets for brushes so you pretty much have to make them yourself, and there also doesn't seem to be a way to rename layers (or if there is I haven't found it) I recommend keeping and eye on this app's development, as it still seems to be fairly active, giving me hope that it will continue to improve over time.

ok to good for skybox painting. nowhere near the photoshop experience from back in the day, but much, much better performance. and since photoshop removed that panopainting feature, this one is now the only game in town. so. the user experience is not great, annoyingly clunky actually. but after getting used to it, it has all the essentials like photoshop. it does support *.abr, but can not save brush settings. VR mode is good for emmersive preview, but NOT for painting. in VR there is no cursor, it moves uncontrollably all over the place while putting strokes at random. all that being said, for a one time payment of 15 its a steal!

All i did was basically open this up within a few minutes i realised how special it was (well in my case)

Its awesome!!

The Idea is good and i like the simple controls, but since i have the App i have wrote the devs that they please add right-hand support will iam a right-handed guy and its not posible to work with the left controller on the right hand by oculus controllers. now ive testet it again and no changes :/ also the fontsize of menu is so small (or to far away) that it is hard to read any of the menuentrys (and i have very good eyes!). So, actualy i must say: Dont buy it and wait of an update. Other Painting-Apps like TiltBrush are more complex and funktional as this.

it a very made me excited but when use it everything it's broken ,UI ,UX not friendly with me just a simple key Ctrl+Z to undo it's not have i don't why i might do something wrong i still wait for next next next update
