A problem with the sky

Hello,

I'm Grzegorz from Poland. Recently I made a giga panorama out of 1053 photos in AutoPano. The panorama is available under this link: http://panoramaczestochowy.pl/spacery/c … ssona.html.

In my panorama the sky is not made properly. The sky consists of something like „squares”.
Thank you very much in advance for any advice how to solve my problem

Cheers
Grzegorz

Welcome to the forum...

I think that is probably due to vignetting.

I agree - but i guess color-correction should easily handle that. I remember it was very effective once . . cool

Re: A problem with the sky

I don't know what it is, but it does not look like vignetting.
It has some repeating patterns. How is it shot? A rig with several cameras ?

Re: A problem with the sky

Kind of camera(s) and sensor ? Amount of overlaping ? Postprocessing of images ?
It looks like there are two different exposures and very small overlapping.

Re: A problem with the sky

I have the same effect on my panoramas as seen here :
http://vklaffehn.vk.funpic.de/cms/index … ;Itemid=53
Shot like most  of my panos with a Canon PowerShot 590is, but if I remember correctly, these patterns weren't so strong in earlier versions of APG, maybe I try an older version to see the difference. I played with the multiband level, but its always quite visible.

Do you see the same effect when you stitch using the Gigapan Stitcher software?

Gigapan Stitch.efx claims to have a feature that specifically handles vignetting:

This is more like vignetting.
The bands at the short side is more prominent than at the long side and there is a dark area in all the corners.

Re: A problem with the sky

Ok, I see the difference. Leifs, could you please tell how you have created those images? Would be helpfull to do that on my own :-) Just increasing contrast and convert to b&w?

I don't know if this is the ultimate way to explore vignetting, but it works. I do it like this:
- open the image in Photoshop 12 (CS5)
- image -> adjustments -> gradiant map
- choose preset = Black, White
- move the lower slider to the right (e.g. location=40%)

There it is
