Hi Max,
It's actually something I struggled with and figured out, and it's now relatively easy to do.
You need to do a couple of things:
- make your image be 2:1 (max resolution is 6000x3000) - usually we'll have longer panos. That's fine. I open in Photoshop, resize to 6000 pixels wide if my original is wider (usually), then resize the canvas to 3000 pixels high (if your original is less than 6000 wide, keep that width and adjust the height accordingly to be 2:1 with the width), while keeping your original image centered. I put a black or (typically) grey solid background color, to make it obvious that it's not part of the image.
- use a EXIF editing tool - change the maker to RICOH. Change the model to RICOH THETA S. I clear the rest of the EXIF data, but I'm not sure if that's needed.
- upload to Facebook!
It works fine. Since the background is an obvious solid color that stands out from the image, it's obvious what's part of the panorama and what's there as filler.
I am planning to make a Windows, GUI-based program to drag/drop and automate the process for my own uses. Do you think others (like yourself) would use it?
