360° Retouching with PanoCool Retouch

Editing 360° photos has traditionally been a technical headache, often requiring specialized software to handle spherical distortion. PanoCool Retouch changes the game by bringing the power of latest AI engines directly to your panoramic workflow. Whether you’re removing an unsightly tripod, virtually staging a real estate listing, or dragging and dropping reference images to perfect your aesthetic, this guide will show you how to master "select-and-prompt" editing for seamless, immersive results.

Prompt in Your Native Tongue

PanoCool AI speaks your language, literally. With support for over 100 languages, you can describe your vision and execute complex edits in your native tongue. Whether you’re prompting in English, Spanish, or Japanese, the AI translates your intent into seamless results.

Object Removal (Tripods/People)

Formula: [Action Verb] + [Target Object] + [Background Context]

Example: "Remove the tripod and fill the space with a seamless concrete floor texture."

Virtual Staging (Adding Furniture)

Formula: [Action Verb] + [Subject] + [Style/Material] + [Lighting Match]

Example: "Add a mid-century modern sofa in gray fabric, ensuring it casts a soft shadow on the right to match the window light."

Text/Logo Integration

The guide has specific rules for typography:

Use Quotes: Always put text in quotes (e.g., "Add a sign saying 'RESTROOMS'").
Describe the Font: Specify style and color (e.g., "bold, white, sans-serif font").

Brand Integration

Formula: [Reference Logo] + [Surface Instructions] + [Material]
Example: (Drag brand logo) + "Place this logo on the selected wall as a 3D neon sign with a soft glow."

Using Reference Images (Image Prompting)

When you drag a reference image into the PanoCool prompt box along with your text, the AI uses Style Transfer and Compositional Mapping. Use these tips to ensure the new object blends perfectly:

Subject Matching: If you want a specific piece of furniture, drag a photo of it and use the text: "Place this [Subject] in the selected area."
Visual Weights: The AI prioritizes the image for shape and the text for context.
- Example: Drag a photo of a modern lamp + text: "Change this to a blue ceramic version."
