We´ll start by importing our photos using the “import” button located on the top left portion of the screen. From the browser window, select the image you want to use to create the panoramic view. After you´re done with the selection the images with be loaded into PanoramioStudio´s main window.

Nevertheless, if you´re not happy with the results you can modify your project by clicking the “edit” button on left side of the toolbar. Also, with the “Render” button (next to edit) we can cut the final size of our panoramic or 360 degree image before exporting.

Finally, once we wrapped things up, we have to save the project. To do so, go to “File > Save as image” and browse the location where you wish to save it.
