Panotour Build Size

Hi

I have a tour with 12 panoramas, I have two questions:

1. At what resolution and file size should each panorama jpeg be for suitable online viewing.
2. What total file size should the final build folder be at.

Please let me know.

Thanks.

I think these are rather meaningless questions.

Panotour/krpano implements multi-resolution tiling automatically so you can display any size of pano online with little effect on viewing performance.

The higher the resolution of the input image the more 'scope' for zooming in will exist when the pano is viewed from a Flash-enabled platform.

When using Panotour Pro the pano image resolution is automatically scaled down for viewing on iDevices if you choose to build iDevice-compatible versions of your tours.

As Andrew mentioned it depends on the way you shoot - on fullframe for example: fisheye 15mm (6-7 images per pano), 35mm (48images per pano), 85mm (144 images per pano) as examples - depends as well as the resolution you want your panos to have for zooming.

In my case a fisheye-shot tour of 12 panos using a Canon 5D2 and a Canon 15mm containing 6-7 images @20-25% overlap is about 75MB on the server using JPG 8 in PTP.
A tour of 6 panos shot with a 35mm@25% overlap - around 700mpx per pano - usually is around 150MB on the server using the same compression.
A tour of 3-5 panos shot with an 85mm@25% overlap - 144 shots, around 3,5 gigapixels - can have around 1,5GB on the server.

You see - your question can´t be answered without havin deeper information about how you shoot!

best, Klaus
