Evening all.
I do a fair bit of 360 photo work and I need to find a better work flow of applying a custom nadir/zenith patch to my photos. Photodirector 9 makes it very easy to apply a blur or mirror patch which is great, but no obvious option to apply my custom patch.
I wondered if PowerDirector would make this possible with a 360 x180 photo and then export it? It’s a long shot I know, but worth an ask I thought.
I currently use www.nadirpatch.com which is a great free tool, but when I have a batch of 25 photospheres to patch, and a slow internet connection, it’s a time consuming task. The patch I need to apply is in png/jpeg format that’s not converted for 360 viewing.

Hi Alec,
The answer is "Yes you can!" Please see the attached photo and tell me if it is similar to what you want.
Basically what I did as a test was, in a 360 project use the 360 photo that comes in the PowerDirector library, and then imported a circular logo and placed it on a lower track on the timeline. Then I opened the logo in the PiP Designer and placed it exactly where I wanted it in the 360 sphere.
Then I took a screenshot via the 360 preview window, which exports it as a new 360 photo. If you view the attached photo in a 360 viewer, the logo displays at the bottom of the sphere.
Let me know if you have questions, and if this is what you meant.
Dave
