Lensball editing apps

Anyone have experience with the lensball and rotating the ball in editing?
Is there an Download app for this purpose? I have an Apple IPad.
Thanx!!

I have played with a lens ball a bit. I use LR5.7 to process and it allows me to rotate at Will. I don’t use my iPad for processing, but Apple Photos on your iPad can do some editing. Select the photo then “Edit” there will be an option to rotate 90 degrees at a time or another allowing you to rotate 45 degrees. There are processing apps available, but I’m not familiar with them.

The IPad has an edit mode when in photos. Open your photo then tap edit, upper right corner, then go to crop mode and in the upper left corner is a square with a curved arrow, tapping it will rotate 90 deg each tap. It’s not a bad program

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I assume the lensball is in the foreground. 1. Do you want to rotate the lensball CW/CCW but keep the perspetive of the background fixed? 2. Do you want to rotate the lensball around a vertical/horizontal axis? 3. Do you want to rotate the entire frame CW/CCW? The answers are different. 1. and 3. are doable but I believe 2. is not currently possible. 1. would require a program that can utilize cut&paste or layers or compositing. I believe all editing programs could handle 3.

#2 - rotating the lensball - is readily done in Photoshop.

According to the posts I’ve seen about lensball photography, the ball is upside down when the picture is taken, and u have to invert it to right side up. I don’t know of any editing sites that do this step, but, I’m a newbie so I’m hunting and pecking.

I’m not rotating the whole photo. Just the lensball. I need a photo editing program to just that. Thanx

Sorry but how are you going to rotate the "image" seen thru the lensball around a vertical or horizontal axis when there is no/zero data in the image file other than straight thru the lensball. Rotating 90 degrees left or right would essentially be bending light 90 degrees to either side which wasn't captured in the image file. Not possible in Photoshop. That would be like taking a face on portrait then rotating the head to show the back of the head. Technology ain't there yet.

You can readily rotate the lensball portion of the image in Photoshop (i.e. inverting the lensball). It requires making a selection then rotating the selection CW or CCW until you get the rotation you want. There may be a few other editing programs that can do this but I'm most familiar with Photoshop.

I would think that with photoshop (full version or Elements) using masks or selection, would allow the lensball portion to rotate by any of the axes, vertical, horizontal or viewpoint.

Obviously, the lensball inverts the image. All the OP wanted to do was to rotate it 180 degrees so it no longer is inverted. As I said, easily done in PS. Rotated examples attached.

If u say it can be done on Photoshop, I sure would want some instructions as I’ve never looked at Photoshop. I’m a newbie. Thanx for your input. I certainly am anxious to learn this process. I’ve got a lensball ready to be used!!!
