How to improve the stitching/blending of a problematic pano?

Hi,

I'm a new Autopano Giga user I'm having trouble with an image. Until now, the few panos I've created with Autopano have come together beautifully with little manual fiddling required. This one is presenting some challenges, however. I'm getting ghosting, or multiple images, of stationary objects like rocks and the horizon. I've attached a screenshot showing one area of the image where the problem is especially pronounced. Could someone please give me some tips about steps I can take to fix this?

Thanks,
Gregory

Re: How to improve the stitching/blending of a problematic pano?

What camera/lens did you use and how many shots and how many rows of shots are there.

Can you show use a Control Point Editor screen shot with the image and link locations displayed, like this:

Re: How to improve the stitching/blending of a problematic pano?

6 images only? Why so little. When you put up your tripod on such location, I would not minimise the number of images. Did you consider doing bracketing too?

Anyway, if you can put it on dropbox and share it with me on hans@alsofjeerbent.nl I will see if I can fix it.

Re: How to improve the stitching/blending of a problematic pano?

I haven't seen ghosting like that before in APG. It looks more like a double exposure or severe camera shake on the original image or the overlap area between adjacent images is way more than the recommended 20-30% (looks like 100%)

It would be useful to see the original images
