Playing with pans!!!!

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

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

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

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.
