Pinning Images

Learn how to pin images to the panorama with correct distortion.

  1. In the Viewer, choose Images from the
    Viewer Modes. Or by
    using the keyboard shortcut I.

  2. Drag an image to the Viewer. Or double-click in the Viewer and navigate to
    your image to add it.

    Once added, a transparent version of the image will appear. It is only
    transparent in the Viewer to help aid placing and positioning. And the
    Properties panel will populate with the
    image properties.

  3. Adjust the image to the panorama by doing one or all of the following:

    → Click on the center icon and drag to move the entire element into position.

    → Move the handles (red corner dots), to match it/pin it to its environment.

    → Resize the image by holding down Alt (win) or Option (macos) while
    dragging a corner handle. Dragging away from the center will make the image
    smaller.

    → Click the top arrow and drag in a vertical motion to tilt the image forward
    or backward on the horizontal axis.

    → Click on the left arrow and drag in a vertical motion to tilt the image on
    its vertical axis.

    → Click and drag on the center arrow in a vertical motion to rotate the
    element.

  4. To make the image interactive, choose a Click Mode.

    Pop Out Original – When the image is clicked on, the image will animate
    forward and appear in its original size which could extend beyond the browser
    window.

    Pop Out Fit – When the image is clicked on, the image will animate
    forward and will scale to the size specified in Scaling. The next click
    will return the image to its original position.

    To show that the image is interactive, enable the Hand Cursor. When the
    mouse is over the image, the cursor will change to a hand, indicating
    interactivity.

    Select Hide when pinned to keep the image hidden until it’s clicked on.

★ Tip  Copy and paste pinned images by selecting a pinned image (icon is red) and right-click in the Viewer. Choose Copy Active Media Element. Right-click anywhere in the panorama and select Paste Media Element to paste. Images can also be copied in List View.
