I want to create a cylindrical panorama from six photos I have taken, but the result is terrible.

For getting help maybe it would be clever to show the result here . .

For your information: the picture will not be toured with pano tour pro. It´s for a client who wants these specifications:

Virtual Tours.
Cylindrical virtual tour files are ideal.
Ideal Image Size: Minimum of 7000 pixels wide x 1750 pixels high.
Ideal Aspect Ratio: 4:1 height to width ratio.
Ideal File Types: Cylindrical JPEG or MOV

I presume your client actually meant a width to height ratio of 4:1?

The ratio of 4:1 is ok, but the result is not what I expect. When I import that for example into krpano and create a tour, then the result is not good. The horizontal lines are very curved, even the vertical lines at the right and the left of the image.

See my screenshot below - vertical lines look straight enough to me - if you have define the pano FOV correctly; even though Panotour and Panotour Pro do not support images with a cylindrical projection as input.

At the end it should look like this:

He is using this player, but I can not download it, to test it. http://flashpanoramas.com/player/

AFAIK there is no trial version of this software.

If your client is using the Flash Panorama Player (for which there is as yet only a Flash version, no version for iDevices or non-Flash Android platforms) then he's probably using Flashificator (a GUI front end for that player) to build his tours:

Is your client compalining about the pano images you have provide him that meet his spec.?

Besides this looks terribly retouched and is of very low resolution - a cylindric pano these days seems somewhat outdated i mean.

So the best way (in my eyes) would be to build it as a sphere and - if your client still want it - restrict the vertical angle in the xml
to show it like a cylinder.

I agree but if his client doesn't understand this nor want spherical panos ....

Then you can display it on iDevices too.

His client is creating the tours....his client uses Flash Panorama Player, which at present is only available in a Flash version.
