Workflow for Zillow 360 Tours

Feel free to ask more questions as you develop your workflow with Zillow.

For indoor real estate shots, you may want to check out the dual-fisheye plug-in by Ichi Hirota

Check out the quality of Sam Rohn’s shots. Quite nice for a 360 camera!

Dual Fisheye Plug-in is free

DNG Transfer to mobile phone is free

Note that you only need this for a mobile workflow. If you edit the pictures on your desktop, you can transfer the pictures with a USB cable and edit in Lightroom and Photoshop.

Z1 Stitcher is about $15

Note that if you have a desktop workflow, you can use the free Lightroom Plug-in. You only need the Z1 Stitcher for a mobile workflow.

If you want to work with 16bit floating point super high dynamic range RAW images, you need the Z1 Stitcher. The adobe lightroom plug-in will stitch 12bit DNG (which is the default coming from the Z1)

DualFisheye Plug-in Remote is $18

You don’t need this to use the plug-in. However, if you like the free plug-in, you may like the plug-in remote to help your workflow. And, the cost is reasonable.

PTGui

PTGui has a template for the Z1 DNG. See this article for more information. This article on GIMP and darktable also has more information.
