Ever found yourself in a 360° photo because there’s nowhere to hide? This app solves the unique “photographer appears in the shot” problem that often happens with 360 cameras. How it works (simple example) 1.Take two 360 photos from the same spot, and move the photographer between the two shots. 2.Import the two images into the app. 3.The app composites the best parts of each photo so the photographer disappears—like they were never there. It can also create a fun “twin” trick shot, making it look like the subject appears twice in the same scene. New in this version •Share your result directly from the app •Vertical (top/bottom) compositing added to the mask feature •Add a 360 tag on export so compatible viewers/services recognize it as a 360° panorama •Choose export format when saving/sharing: JPG / HEIF / PNG Key features •Composite Mask: Adjust blend width and smoothness, including semi-transparent blending •Face Search: Automatically finds a good composite position using face detection (manual adjustment always available) •Panorama Mode: Swipe to look around and check the composite result more easily •Swap: Switch the two source photos to reverse the composited area •Save & Share: Export in JPG/HEIF/PNG, optionally with a 360 tag Try it now with built-in samples Tap “Sample A” on the home screen → tap “Swap” to switch the blend area → tap “Face Search” to remove the photographer → Save or Share. Shooting tip: Place the camera on a tripod (even a mini tripod works). For clean results, keep the camera position the same and move the photographer so they don’t overlap between the two shots.
