I’ve been playing with pan factory to see how this new PC handles big files.
It’s great with lage tiff files better than the old girl.

These images aren’t anything great but there made up of around 6 – 8 tiff images.
Just thought you mite like a look :roll:

Stubbsy,
What do you mean "there is no product as such", autostitch is a fully working demo, they've just released the latest version which gives you the option of a lower compression jpeg.

Stubbsy :D

The tree has a size of 2846 pix W, 5169 pix H, 84.2 meg.
When I was looking around for pan programs I tyred them all at the time!!!!

Pan factory was & still is the best IMO.
Play around in the menus & try different settings, I found with the D70 just turn all the auto things off in Pan's menu :wink:

Cheers
Ray :P

G'day,
Gee, they've come up well... Can't see any joins or anything, was there any PP after joining etc? Was Pano Factory a demo or "full" product?

These pano's are addictive aren't they? They're good fun...

Cheers,
Mudder

It’s the full Ver mudder; I try & keep it up to date.
The only PP was a Curves adjustment layer & a little USM.
I find if you overlap the images about 60 – 80% you get a good result.
Both the pans were hand held I will have to try & get into the habit of using a tripod :?

Cheers
Ray :P

I guess what I was saying rather awkwardly is that its only available as a time limited demo. Yes they keep releasing new time limited versions, but that could stop some day. I'm very impressed with it and am looking forward to it's commercialisation (which I figure is what the creators intend from reading the files with it)

Cheers

I see what you mean.
I'm impressed as well, I ran the same set of 14 photos through autostitch and panorama factory. Autostitch took about 30 seconds to come up with a 99% perfect pano, panorama factory took 10 minutes and came up with 2 opera houses two buildings in the city skyline that look like the twin towers and was pretty much unusable.
As long as autostitch is free I'll keep using it, if it becomes commercial then it depends on the price.
