Ricoh Theta Help

Albermarle · 03-04-2017, 06:46 AM

I am a big Pentaxian with a ist*ds, K10, k5 and a K3. I have more lenses than I could possibly use on a regular basis. Whilst I work hard on Lightroom and Photoshop one thing I can not work out is my Ricoh Theta.

How do I make a JPEG of a zoom or a crop? I have spent hours trying. I know it must be easy but I can not work out how. I have a great shot which I want to make like a small planet. How do I do this and then save as a separate image?

I feel so silly because I know it must be easy. Thanks in advance.

The absolute easiest way to do it is to open up the smartphone app, pan the way you like, and take a screenshot of the result. That screenshot will then go in your phone's native image gallery app.

The same can also be done via the Theta S desktop app, and this could potentially give you a higher-resolution image, but it's a bit more time-consuming.

Perhaps you'd get better results using Hugin; try this: hugin - How to reproject and crop a 360°x180° panorama? - Photography Stack Exchange
