Hi,
Following the discussion we had in this thread: http://www.kolor.com/forum/viewtopic.ph … 1#p107391, I thought I'd post a feature request for Autopano Pro/Giga.

Essentially, as yet it seems very hard to obtain several exposures of a stitched panorama that align perfectly. For example, given a panorama made up of 5 images; with each image being bracketed as follows:

-2EV: 1,4,7,10,13
  0EV: 2,5,8,11,14
+2EV: 3,6,9,12,15

The goal is to stitch three seperate panoramas as follows:

Pano1: 1,4,7,10,13
Pano2: 2,5,8,11,14
Pano3: 3,6,9,12,15

since Pano1, Pano2 and Pano3 are effectively the same panorama only under, normal and over exposed versions of it, these three panoramas can then be used as input into HDR software like photomatix, for manual layering/masking in photoshop etc.

Key to all this though is that all three panoramas need to be perfectly aligned (i.e. same pixel count, crop etc.). Needless to say, the assumption is that all images where shot on a sturdy tripod so alignment within a bracketed set should not be an issue. The issue left is to get Autopano to stitch all three panoramas in the same exact manner.

The idea would be to somehow be able to 'record'/'save' all the settings and control points generated in stitching one panorama (e.g. the 0EV one) and then, being apply to apply those settings to stitch the other two panoramas (i.e. the -2EV one and the +2EV one). In other words, Autopano needn't recalculate anything in stitching the last two panoramas; it would 'blindly' apply the setting obtained from stitching the original one.

Would such a feature be possible?

Thanks,

Joe
