[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GbeTech:
Hi,

I've decided to organize all the photos I've collected from my long trip, including all the photospheres.

I copied them around in my PC, changed some of the colors, cut, paste, etc.

At some point, the ones I messed around with have lost their 3D ability. Meaning, when I put them back into the phone, I can't "look" around when viewing them. Also they don't work in G+.

This one has remained 3D:

As you can see, the functioning image has tons of extra information in sections where the malfunctioning one is empty. Is there a way to restore it? And I can't see how it's lost in any process, except for changing a format or manually removing it.

Thanks.
