Lightroom/Camera Raw: Make 360° panoramas "draggable" to center points of interest
The panorama feature in LR is quite good if the base images have been shot with care to avoid stitching errors. What I would like to see is a way I can "move" the projection view direction if I have a 360° panorama.
Consider the expertly executed and annotated screenshot:

The right part is clearly the "rest" of the left part. If I could drag the image a bit to the right, the road would end up bang in the middle and the edges would both end up in the water, giving a much nicer view. Right now I have to develop all images seperately and export them as tiff so I can load them into Microsoft ICE which does a very nice job of projecting 360° panoramas.
You might consider setting a metadata-flag in the resulting DNG so I can later on drag the pano around a bit if I feel like it. And please make the preview image larger/zoomable. It might be a stich of reduced size images for preview purposes, but a bit closer inspection would be nice sometimes.
Excited to hear what you think!

We as users are going to lose most. We'll get an even heavier LR software. Professional panorama software might lose enough business to have to quit or stop developing their software as they do now. We'll lose alternatives to turn to. There will be less competition and innovation.
So I do not understand the numerous calls to Adobe to add more than basic capabilities in the sub-fields like panorama, HDR , books, internet pages, upload tools, etc.
Please Adobe stick to making the development tools better, and forget about the numerous add-ons that other companies are much better at and that obviously divert your energy from much needed quality control.

Adobe's LR/ACR panoramas benefit from still being raw data if the source images are raw. Otherwise there are better tools, more dedicated to the task.
Do the ends of the panorama match up perfectly or not?
I don't agree that Adobe shouldn't try harder, but they need to try much, much harder, to overtake the competition.
