Wow, frustrating now after I purchased this

For some reason it is saving images that are invalid. These are Panos that have been rendered and the I clicked 'save as'. I have been having a frustrating experience since I purchased this. Obviously I couldn't go thru the 'save' portions of the program with the trial.

Last time I tried this it worked, not it doesn't. Why in the world would a Pano be an invalid image after it has been rendered and 'save as' ???

The first time I tried saving it put 2 of each image in the folder, one valid, one invalid. The valid images have a thumbnail of the actual image. The invalid images have an icon for a jpg I think - though its not a jpeg file.


I don't get it and if you search Render under Help it doesn't offer much help or even description of what it is exactly that Rendering does in the first place.

help please

Re: Wow, frustrating now after I purchased this

now when I do 'save all as' and enter a name for each one, the ones I have named go into a file and are unreadable. But above them is the four thumbnail images in the same folder, all readable, all with the names Autopano assigns to it (image_6566-Image_6570 etc )   so whats the point of naming a file that you can't read and why would it automatically save the thumbs to the file when I didn't have 'auto save' clicked?

Re: Wow, frustrating now after I purchased this

There is a save as button on the pano editor screen.  It saves the pano project, with a jpg preview.  If you open the folder, and click on the saved file, it should bring up APP and bring your pano in so you can edit it again.

Rendering is the process of building the pano.  What you see in the pano editor is an approximation.  When you render, you are outputting the pano to a JPG or other file, depending on how you set the options.  See http://www.autopano.net/wiki-en/action/ … r_Settings

Basically, you bring the images into APP, stitch them, go into the pano editor and make changes (and save every so often in case of a crash).  Then you render the pano to get the output file.  Rendering can take hours on some machines.

Let's just reiterate: "Save" saves the project file, "Render" creates the actual panorama.
