Photo Studio can convert an equirectangular panorama into six cubemap faces and stitch edited faces back into an equirectangular image.

## When cubemaps are useful

Cube faces are easier to edit in traditional image editors because each file is a flat perspective view. They are especially useful for careful retouching near the nadir or zenith.

## Convert to cube faces

1. Select the source equirectangular panorama.
2. Open the equirectangular-to-cube converter.
3. Choose an output folder and run the conversion.
4. Keep all six generated faces together.

## Stitch the edited faces

1. Edit the faces without changing their pixel dimensions or orientation.
2. Open the cube-to-equirectangular stitcher.
3. Select the complete six-face set.
4. Export a new equirectangular image and inspect every seam in Preview.

> Do not crop, rotate, rename inconsistently, or resize individual faces. Those changes can prevent a clean stitch.
