Optical Flow Stitching in 360° Photos in Luminar Neo

[Paulo Gastardelli]

[QUESTION] How to solve optical flow stitching in 360° photos in Luminar Neo?
Hi guys, I'm having a problem editing 360° photos and would like your help.
I'm using an Insta360 X3 to capture 360° photos. When I render the images directly through Insta360 Studio (native application), the photo comes out perfect, without any stitching issues.
However, when I import these same photos into Luminar Neo to make color, contrast, etc. adjustments, visible stitches start to appear in the final result. The stitches become evident mainly after applying filters or making corrections.
Problem details:

Camera: Insta360 X3
In Insta360 Studio: perfect stitching
In Luminar Neo: stitches appear after editing
The stitches become more visible after exposure and color adjustments

My questions:

Has anyone experienced this with Insta360 X3 photos?

Are there any specific settings in Luminar Neo for working with already rendered 360° photos?
Is it better to make the adjustments first in Insta360 Studio or is there a way to preserve the perfect stitching in Luminar?
Do you recommend any specific workflow for this type of situation?

Any tips or similar experiences would be very welcome!
Thanks in advance for your help!
