Message text written by INTERNET:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > This is really usefull information. Do you have experience with other panoramic software as well? Is there software out there which would allow for wider angle lenses then 35mm? Do you know anything about MGI PhotoVista for instance?
-- Frits J. W�thrich (Sent with Kmail) < unless you are on a Mac and can use Apple Quicktime VR Studio, MGI PhotoVista is the best program out there for under $1KUS. here is a site that i find very useful for learning more about stitching panoramas: http://www.panoguide.com/. you'll find a lot of software reviews and techniques for producing stitched panoramas. i have tried about 10 different programs under $200 and nothing comes close to Photovista if you have properly taken the images. properly taken means that the vertical axis of the images are all parallel. if the images are rotated with respect to one another, then ULead Cool360 can fix the rotation, but its stitching abilities are far less useful. MGI Photovista will allow using lenses as sshort as 15mm, either in fisheye or in wide angle designs. all other programs i have used suffer from severe technical limitations or plain usability problems. the only significant flaw with Photovista is that manual alignment is a pain to do if you are working with large image sizes, say more than 3 megapixels. there are no scroll bars for the adjustment window and you have to carefully find and select the draggable part of the base image to move around the overlapping area and see what needs tuning. MGI has just been sold to Roxio and i am not sure you can buy Photovista anymore. i think you have to buy the entire PhotoSuite package. Herb.... - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
