And I got the arTec out of the bag, when I was sure I already had the good stuff in the box. Of course I had to shoot safely (user's fault!) for the client first. I felt I had to quickly processed some files to show you that incredibly easy camera…Ī bit too quick though, they ares ome issues, but still worth seing imho. 24) I had an assignement to shoot the new interiors of the Bordeaux 60… A great and forseen oportunity to -enfin !- try the arTec in real true condition of shooting… Stitch images with software and fix perspective and crop.So today (Feb.Try to keep the camera pivot point in the same place. Too much overlap is better than not enough. Before moving to next image, make note of what is at the edge of the frame to ensure proper overlap. Put the camera in portrait mode to capture as much height as possible.If you leave it on auto, color and exposure may change in each photo making it obvious you stitched. Change to manual setting and dial in appropriate exposure.You don't want focus changing during the exposure. Autofocus on what will be the "main" subject.If it messes up the shot, stop at 160-170 degrees or crop it out. THere is no way to avoid that with a 180 because you get it in both edge frames. ANd the white fence is from the same side of the field. Haven't made it to any good scenery to try it out on something good. I just taught myself this last week, so I am not expert, but this is a 6 shot 180 degree one I did of a field by my house. I got the best results with PSE6 photomerge and then I use Skew to fix the perspective distortion. The Demo of autostich does a good job, but does not fix distortion well. MS Live photo gallery is a freebie that does OK. Photostich that comes with your camera works pretty well for single row panoramas. I made this one smaller just so I didn't post two huge photos. You can also see where you didn't get enough to really overlap every image (missing data around the edges). You can't do anything about the sidewalk coming in from one side and leaving the other when you do a 180 degree pano. I put this on my pbase site, if that isn't OK I'll take them down and I can email them or something to you if you'd like. What it can't help is the very overblown sky, this is where if you had taken two exposures (one for the sky and one for the foreground) CS3 would have also done a HDR type of thing and you may have retained some detail. The first is the unedited photo, you can see CS3 does a better job at lining things up. I used CS3 to stitch and I have two examples. I know that ptgui has a mac version that works well. No problem, hopefully I can help a little bit, I'm sure there are way more knowledgeable people on this board "Loving the learning and all the memories captured along the way" Any suggestions for a good stitching tool for Mac? I still haven't tried the Canon software, but you can all see the bad results I got from Photoshop CS1 above. I just went to download autostitch and found that it is windows only. I also appreciate your giving me some pointers on the other general questions I had about focusing, DOF, and focal length etc. Thanks for agreeing to tinker with these. You can get to higher res images by clicking through the set. I created a new set with the 5 frames and my Frankenstein merge from CS1: I'm still trying to figure out flickr, but I think I've got it right now. I've uploaded the individual images to flickr. I imagine the one in CS1 is at the very best the same if not worse. When I tried the automerge in CS2 I thought it was awful soI mainly used autostitch. Size probably won't matter all that much. As long as I can right click and save on flickr that is fine.
