I agree that kolor should have fixed this long time ago but 3dVista isn't a serious alternative to Panotour. You might as well find some free alternative if you consider 3dVista. If you want similar functionality to Panotour, then Pano2VR is something you should have a look at. They're releasing a n...

The Citi logo looks best with the "Balanced" style. Please try my attached presets and see what you think. Test 2 is my favorite. I've pulled down the saturation a little bit and the image can get pretty dark compared to other styles but you can recover all that without any extra noise in ...

Here's the difference with different styles/presets where "aberration removal" is activated. You can see that "Natural" removes more pink in the "K" than the others, without succeeding in removing the chromatic aberration. My Test 1.5 preset is based on the "Detail...

Strange. The Photomatix remove aberration doesn't seem to make any major difference on my images :( Ok, final question. Which of the attached images do you like more? The one using "Contrast Optimizer" or the one using Fusion/Natural? I personally prefer "Contrast Optimizer" beca...

Here's a comparison using another image (I deleted the first one) where you can see the difference between "Natural" and a preset using "Contrast Optimizer" This time, I didn't apply any chromatic aberration removal in Lightroom. Only slight removal in DXO which doesn't make any ...

Maybe your RAW images didn't have any chromatic aberration?

Microsoft Photos is sharpening the image too Another annoying thing that I've noticed is that it uses my monitors "Photo Pro" color space and not sRGB which makes all the colors more vivid than what they're supposed to look like even if I view an image with sRGB color space. I tried findin...

The reason why you have a hard time seeing the difference is because I've done my best to remove the chromatic aberration in the affected imagers (without using the brush tool). Which is pretty stupid if I want to prove a point :) But you know what, I just made another discovery. I was about to show...

I've now spent a whole working day playing with photomatix and I must admit that it does make a difference. It's as you say a lot faster to work in APG if I let Photomatix do the heavy lifting. Checking control points goes way faster and it feels like the default stitching is better too. Maybe just ...

Ok, so the benefit is mainly alignment and ghosting. I thought photomatix would give better and more stunning colors or something. I have a monster computer so performance isn't much of an issue. I captured this place https://tour.swedvr.se/tolv/tolv.html with high ISO and I just tested running some...

Btw, what would you say about a competition? I post 12 raw files (3 exposures in 4 directions) of a panorama and we see who can achieve the best result? The winners get to explain their workflow in more detail so others can learn and the prize if fame and glory.

I wanted to see if I too can improve my workflow and found this thread. I see most of you use photomatix. I've tried to use both photomatix and easyhdr to fuse the stacks on multiple occasions but I've never seen any major improvement over fusing the images directly in APG. Most of my experience wit...

@benji33 How come I don't experience any issues with video when I use Chrome on mobile devices? All my livepanos autoplay like they should.

Naaa, I rather just check all the custom views and correct if needed before I publish my tour. But thanks for the tip.

Oh, and it's also very interesting if anyone has a clever idea on how to activate sound in VR mode since Kolors standard VR splash screen doesn't seem to do the trick any more.

It's a well know issue that audio doesn't necessarily autoplay in mobile browsers like chrome. There are however smart tricks to get the user to activate the sound (which is required by the browser) and I hope we can all help each other by sharing these tricks here. 1. My first tip on how to activat...

As long as you don't press the spot again after you've set the custom view, it normally remembers it. I say normally because I've noticed that random events can reset the custom view and I say random because I haven't been able to find the cause. I have a tour with 100+ panos where I've set custom v...

I just tried this plugin to fix the same issue and it worked great. http://dev.alexpopov.me/startscreen Just make sure to make a button appear that the user has to click to remove the splashscreen. Tell this button to start tour sounds plus and enter full screen. Worked like a charm on my android ph...

GArrows creator fixed the bug with a new release only one day after i highlighted it

It's the KEEPVIEW setting that keps the sound from ending. I will ask the creator to fix it

Argh, found the reason. Typical that I found it only minutes after my previous post. I don't want to be one of those people who asks for help before I've tried finding the solution myself. I actually experimented for two whole hours before I made that post. The villain is http://www.robostitcher.com...

I might add that I have the exact same issue in two different projects.
I have the latest version of panotour and the same issue occurs in both Chrome and Safari.

HELP!!!!!! I'm FREAKING out!!! It's looks like this bug is VERY MUCH still alive after THREEEE years and I need to know what I might have done to trigger it. I've been working with the same project for over 1 month and I just started to add audio to it. The problem I have is that the audio from a pa...

@signmaster This is what you need to do until there's a fix from kolor 1. Download, install and start hitfilm 4 express 2. choose new, start editing (project settings comes later) 3. Locate the spots folder of your exported panotour project and drag/import the high livepano file to the media section...

Thanks Benjamin! This really makes us super happy. Great support! I agree that it makes no sense to use a limited color range. As you can see in the attached screen shots, the untouched livepano via chrome looks better if you disregard the visible mask. But there must be a reason why safari renders ...
