I ran into an issue that I can't seem to get past. I am using APG 3.0.7. I imported 279 images with the Gigapan import wizard (31x9). They detected and stitched without an issue. I then ran the neutralhazer plugin on the same images. They were saved in the same source folder and brought into APG aut...

When one of the panorama’s dimensions surpasses 30,000 pixels or when the file size exceeds 2 gigabytes, Autopano automatically chooses the PSB format instead of the PSD format.

I'd also consider a BD-R drive.

The blank media has come way down in price lately.

APG will import a PTGUI project, but seems to discard some or all of the control points.

Features that are perfectly aligned in PTG are badly misaligned when the project is imported to APG.

Is this a known problem or am I missing something?

Very nice. I use the same camera/lens so I'm curious about what head you use and what shooting pattern.

They obviously spent all of their time on navigation because they didn't spend any of it learning how to close (or even cover) the Nadirs!

And remember (since the FZ-150 is a superzoom) that the Nodal point is different at different focal lengths.

The only time I've seen variation in the sky like that is when the DIGIC processor in a Canon powershot was active. Since you were shooting RAW that shouldn't have had any effect even if it was on, but it might still be worth looking through the settings on your camera anyhow. It's sometimes called ...

I just realized that I didn't answer your other question. I know that 360cities hosts all kinds of panoramas, but I haven't had any personal experience with them. I either host mine on my own site (using KRPano) or use Gigapan.com. I bet that if you started a separate thread here, you could get some...

Can you show us the same screenshot using the files from LR5? (just one or two of the problem panos)

Also, make sure that the lens correction panel was active in develop and that you have the correct lens profile loaded.

That looks like lens vignetting to me too.

Is this what you were seeing in the images when you ran them through LR5, or was it something else?

I'd go with PSB at 72dpi/8-Bit. Or TIFF w/ LZW compression if it's not over 30000 pixels wide or tall. Selecting 72dpi doesn't res it down - all of the pixels are still there, just spread out over more inches - 72dpi at 4" is the same as 288dpi at 1". Also, Gigapan.com doesn't support 16bit AFAIK, s...

Hmmm. I've never found a way to color correct the sky that actually works. The first thing that I think I'd try is to pull the files straight off of the memory card and avoid LR altogether. Especially since you're using the brand new version of LR, I wouldn't be completely confident that it isn't do...

I use a Gigapan Epic Pro (and an original Epic and an Epic 100) too.

Good luck. I think you'll find that the stitching is of much higher quality than Stitch - especially the sky.

Did you use the Gigapan import function in AotoPano? If not, then APG won't know that the images were shot in a grid and might move some of the sky images around to try and match control points. Take a look here: http://www.autopano.net/wiki-en/action/view/Autopano_Giga_-_Import..._-_Gigapan

I'm curious about what everyone thinks of the upgrade pricing of PTP version 2.0. I paid €199 for PTP 1.8 just a few months ago since I already owned KRPano. I have to admit that paying €199 again to upgrade to 2.0 seems a bit expensive to me. I understand that Kolor is a for-profit business, bu...

here we have other panos done exclusively for iPad: http://360impressions.de/LichtturmPad/ Check for the jaggies here too! best, Klaus Looking at it with a first generation iPad, I see what he's referring to. Some jaggies are there and seem to be accentuated by what looks like JPEG artifact. The st...

I think what you're seeing is the difference between the flash version (desktop) and the HTML5 version (iPad). I don't believe HTML5 supports multires yet, so when you zoom in to the HTML5 version, all pixels will get larger and show jaggies past a certain point. Take a look at the second message he...

As far as making a change to all hotspots, that's pretty straightforward. Once you have all of your hotspots placed, you can select all of them in the hotspot editor (I know that marquee selection works - I don't remember if CTRL-A does or not) and select a new object in the Hotspot Properties panel...

Just as a side note, ForkLift is a good alternative to Cyberduck. I had the permissions problem too.

Good suggestions - thank you both.

I shoot 6 shots around at +7.5, one zenith at +45 and (at least) 2 nadirs at -90 - one with the Nadir adapter folded, and one or more with it extended and the tripod moved appropriately and re-leveled. I tried 6 shots at 0 with zenith at +90 and nadir at -90, but had more stitching problems. +7.5 cl...

Nikon D800e/Nodal Ninja RS-1/Nikkor 16mm. I will try to post an example this evening - the one that comes to mind is a nadir that was a street of bricks - a repeating pattern with few unique features. Everyone wants to tell me why I shouldn't have to use Manual CPs but nobody has actually answered m...

I agree also, and 99 percent of the time I have no problems because I was very careful in setting up my rig.

Once or twice, though I have had to use Manual CPs to "dial in" the stitching.

When that happens again, I just want to make sure I can do it in the most efficient way possible.

As I've been learning APG (from the documentation and experimentation) I've been trying to develop a "standard" workflow for myself. I haven't seen much documentation of how to deal with manual control points, so it took a while to understand that I was sabotaging myself when trying to use them. In ...
