OnOne PhotoTools meets Pano

[aim54x]

Just another image from my weekend. This time a 17 frame Pano (via AutoPano Pro) from Echo Point, with OnOne PhotoTools put to work.

Nice (I'm always a sucker for pano's) - what focal length were the individual frames shot at? (this was one row yes?)

[aim54x]

This was shot using my Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 DX, 17 images all in one row with approx 50% overlap.

I find that shooting pano's with an ultrawide tends to cause me issues with distortion when I stitch. I try to use somewhere between 35-70 depending on what lenses I have on me at the time. The 35mm f/1.8 DX, the 50mm f/1.8D, 24-70mm f/2.8 and the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 are the favourites used for my pano work.

Very nice stitching Cameron. At first glance I can't see any imperfections.

Looks like you had a midday sort of light which is not as flattering but the blue tones are pleasing and representative of what you see in the blue mountains.

Very nice image, what did the OnOne bring to the image in the end? it would be interesting to see the image before as well

I just looked this up. Looks like an interesting set of filters. I would like to know what it added as well.

I cheated and used one of the PhotoTools effects to intensify the colours....I really couldnt be bothered to do it stepwise.

So in other words not that much!

Cameron, a better approach would be use LAB color space and steepen the a curve...

That would require work....

Seriously, the conversion from SRGB (and I will hurt anyone who wants to nag me about SRGB vs ARGB) to LAB and back again is more work...and I would imagine some loss in the conversion process. I could have done the same thing by tweaking colour balance and saturation, but PhotoTools was there and I have been meaning to use it and find out what it does.
