Hi Members, I am new and need some advise as to what is the best and easiest workflow to create a Virtual tour. I have Photoshop Master collection, external hard drive, Lightroom 3, & Autopano Giga & PanoTourPro. I find developing in Lightroom 3 much easier than Photoshop, and dont know how or where I should save files from Autopano Giga to PanoTour Pro. I use Raw to capture all my images for editing and development. I have no issues stiching the images, its trying to get the file over to Autopano Pro that I cant do? Basically, I want to know what is the best way to save my stiched panorama's from AutoPano Giga into all the otehr programs:- Lightroom( for developing), Photoshop (touch ups, HDR), PanoTourPro (create my virtual tours).

Hi!
AutoPano Giga is the "bigger brother" of AutoPano Pro. So why getting AutoPano Giga files "over to AutoPano Pro"? Or do you mean PanoTour Pro - for building a pano resp. a tour?

Hi Klaus,
I meant I have Autopano Giga(stiching) and PanoTourPro. Currently, I'm saving my images into Lighrtoom 3, saving them into an external hard drive so I dont run out of computer hard drive space. I can export the images from Lightroom into Autopano Giga, stich images but then come to a block trying to move the stiched panorama's into Lightroom(developing), Photoshop (HDR), PanoTourPro for creating virtual tours. Basically, wanting to knwo how to move my stiched panorama's into other programs?
Regards

well - it might sound outdated...
but why not starting your programm and than using file->open to load your pano into your desired program.
is this so inefficient that dozens of plugins must be programmed to let the images automatically be transferred?

The problem isnt opening from Program, I can open from Autogiga & import or export from lightroom, the problem is after stiching trying to get back into other programs or PanoTour Pro for virtual tour...

I don´t understand what you mean, Aussieguy!
The way i use: developing RAW in CaptureOne. Exporting them into a dedicated folder as TIFFs. Importing the TIFFs to APG and stitch/render them, saving as 16bit TIFF into a dedicated folder.
Loading the renderings into Photoshop for retouching resp. color-balancing. Then importing into PTP and make a pano resp. a tour.
Can´t imagine what´s your problem!
best, Klaus

maybe his machine is too slow for very large pano's that it seems like the programs are not working and in particular if he is working of a slow external drive, this can seem to take forever.
just a thought - b a little more patient or use a faster computer - the workflow outlined above is good and have been tried and tested by many here (in ref to what Klaus said, his workflow)
give it a go

Klaus,
After importing my raw images from sd card into lightroom, how do I export those into Tiff files into folder? WHat I have been doing up to now is, exporting raw images into AP Giga, stiching them & being stuck in AP Giga, not being able to click & drag into other programs. My comp is Mac pro Lion system.

When your raw images are imported into LR, just hit 'export' (library, bottom left corner) . you will be able to choose the destination folder, the tiff 8 or 16 bits, etc,.....LR will develop your raws and the result will be much better than sending raw to APP/APG, which uses DCraw internally.

Hi Klaus,
Thank you for that information, thats where I have been stuck, not knowing or understanding how to export to another folder in Tiff. Where would you reccommend saving them, both on my Mac harddrive( any space issies here)? or directly into external hard drive, I have 1T WD external hard drive so it can hold many images.
