Yes - nothing more than rectangular cut-and-paste in an image editor. There's nothing clever about it - the only trick is to make sure that when you need to overlap two adjacent images the seam should be close to equidistant from the edge of each frame. Detailed examination of the image I posted would reveal that while the join is pretty good in the middle (along the waterline of the lake), there are visible artifacts along the seam as you get away from the centre-line. These are mostly a result of the slight barrel distortion of the lens I used. It looks as though PT Assembler can handle this, so I'll probably download it and give it a try. > I use PhotoVista 3.0, but I'm sure there's much more sofisticated > applications avalibale - i.e. PTAssembler: > http://www.tawbaware.com/ptasmblr.htm for which the Panosaurus (nodal point > adapter) can be recommended. > Keep up the good work. > Jens > > Jens Bladt > mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://hjem.get2net.dk/bladt > > > -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- > Fra: John Francis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sendt: 10. november 2004 08:54 > Til: Pentax List > Emne: PESO - return to Vasona Lake Park > > > > It's about a year now since I got my *ist-D, so I decided to go back > to the park where I did my first trial shots and try something else. > > I don't have any panorama stitching software, so I haven't yet been > able to correct for the slight barrel distortion in the lens (which > was the original FA 28-105), nor convert to a true cylindrical view. > But I like what I've got so far enough to keep working on it. > > <http://panix.com/~johnf/temp/panorama.jpg> > > That's seven shots stitched together.
