Carl and Allan, Thanks for looking into it!
Allan, I'm glad somebody was able to reproduce the problem. It's not just me. (phew) Carl, yes, pano4 was added sort of as an afterthought to the panorama, and it's in that other directory because I moved it there to get it in the rotation for my desktop background image. I'll have them all in the same directory in the future. I really had no idea what sorts of settings to use for my lens. It's a pretty basic digital P&S, the Samsung Digimax 202, and I couldn't find much information about its lens and sensor other than that it's a 9mm lens (which was in the exif information). I didn't have a tripod or anything, this was done hand-held and trying to get overlap. The fourth image doesn't have much overlap, unfortunately. No wide-angle converter, no anything - the camera doesn't even have an optical zoom function. I'll take a closer look at the settings you talk about here, with the program open. As I said, I can upload the four images I'm using if it'll help at all. They run about 150kb each. -Rhonda On Jun 2, 11:24 pm, Carl von Einem <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Rhonda, > > looking your snowscape project file I see that the last image is in a > different directory (folder "Desktop backgrounds", try to omit spaces > and special characters in file and folder names...) than the others. > It's usually best to keep all image files plus the .pto in the same > folder.
