Re: panorama bug ?

searching desperately for old odd files in the bin, hoping they are still there... this situation happened to me more than once too :)

Re: panorama bug ?

Problem was that the fifth photo simply didn't fit. I had to take four different pics for the update. Thanks again!

Re: panorama bug ?

What program do you use ? i use PM4 and sometimes (but much more rarely than PM3) I have to adjust points manually. The old picture looked very much like such issue. Or sometimes, I discover that adjusting does not help and I remember the last picture was taken some 100 meters further on the trail :)

Re: panorama bug ?

I usually use Photoshop for it. It is quicker to use if you manage your pictures with Lightroom. Results are similar. Sometimes Photoshop gets confused by the foreground and I revert to PM 4. The trick here is to use only points on the horizon (or far away) as this is what you want to fit.

Re: panorama bug ?

Sure.
I've got a technical question, because often my panoramas of something "below" (canyon view from a top) or "above" (mountain tops from a valley) tend to be a bit "banana"; how do you untwist them ? I use to achieve this by "cheating" a bit with the manual points, but any better technique would be welcome !

Re: panorama bug ?

Two rules: I always take panoramas with the widest angle (18mm in my case), especially the 360° panoramas. Second rule is really to place the PM4 markers always as far in the background as possible, never in the foreground. The 360° panoramas, which easily end up like waves, can be untwisted that way.
