Equirectangular export?

I hope that in a future version of Panotour Pro we could have an option to export an equirectangular image. I see that we can export and then import cubes but I do not see an option to export the equirectangular after I retouch the cubes. I tried using Cubic Converter but ran into a number of issues. I could not import Panotour Pro cubes for some strange reason. Thanks

Hi Rico!

That confuses me - in fact we render an equirectangular image in APG and import it to Pano Tour Pro for making a pano from it. Why should we export an equi from PTP when we already have one?

For retouching the cubefaces use KRPano´s aplet "sphere to cube" - it automatically generates cubefaces from an equi. Then you might retouch on the faces - most likely the bottom face - and use the aplet "cube to sphere". This one makes an equi from the retouched faces. This equi you import into PanoTour Pro to make an interactive pano.

best, Klaus

Panotour Pro does not yet provide users with a krpanotools licence.

Re: Equirectangular export?

Thanks guys. I wanted to export the equirectangular so I'd have one that includes the retouching. I had to get rid of the tripod and some lens flares. I was thinking of entering the retouched version in Epson's pano contest and they want the EQ not cubes. Oh well it probably would not win anyway. It is up on my HDR info site and is an HDR, though I tried to make it look as "UnHDR" as I could. I think Klaus is right. I may have the KRpano tools as I purchased the older version prior to Panotour Pro and I have to admit I have no clue on how to use those. I will try to figure it out. Thanks again for your help!
