Re-assemble Image

I have "lost" my original files and now need to produce the full cylindrical image from the tiles, there are approx. 1,500 tiles.
Is there an easy way to Re-assemble the image from the tiles ?
Or am I stuck with manually building the image back up in Photoshop Layers?

Thanks, this "looks" like what I am after, BUT having tried to follow this many times I always end up with
"ERROR: invalid or bad argument:" followed by the path to the file that is 3rd from the last file of the input tiles.

I created a droplet by editing the Make Pano (Flat) droplet, changing kmakemultires to kmaketiles, and creating a config file which points to my xml script file which reads

Quoted

<krpano version="1.0.8">

kmaketiles l4_%00v_%00h.jpg retiled.tif 0 -insize=93395x11485 -intilesize=873 -inindexbase=1

</krpano>



I need a complete idiots walk through guide to doing this, can you point me to a full step by step guide to this?

I am not really sure what I should be doing with this.

Hi,

you need to call the kmaketiles tool manually from command line!
No xml or droplet or config involved

Windows:
  1. start the command line (cmd.exe)
  2. go to the folder of the krpano tools (cd /path/)
  3. call the kmaketiles tool and use absolute paths to the images:

    Source code

    		 
    1

    kmaketiles c:\pano\tiles_%v_%h.jpg c:\pano\merged.tif 0 ...

Mac:
  1. start the Terminal
  2. go to the folder of the krpano tools (cd /path/)
  3. call the kmaketiles tool and use absolute paths to the images:

    Source code

    		 
    1

    ./kmaketiles /pano/tiles_%v_%h.jpg /pano/merged.tif 0 ...

best regards,
Klaus

Hi Klaus, I could not get this to work on the Mac, I followed your instructions but I keep getting an error - from Terminal Window OSX 10.6.8

Source code

jeff-starleys-iMac:krpanotools jeffstarley$ ./kmaketiles /LiverpoolFromHopeStHotel.tiles l4_%00v_%00h.jpg /pano/merged.tif 0 -insize=93395x11485 -intilesize=873
ERROR: invalid or bad argument: 0


I then tried it on Windows 7, again following your instructions - SUCCESS !!!

I do not know what is wrong in my Mac Terminal syntax, can you see where I have gone wrong? it is driving me crazy, it should be so simple.

Jeff

Hi,

a blank/space is the separator of the arguments!

so when the filename contains blanks (like in your case the blank between "tiles" and "l4_.."), the whole filename must be placed inside quotes, to let the operating system pass that filename as one argument,
e.g.

Source code

 
1

./kmaketiles "/LiverpoolFromHopeStHotel.tiles l4_%00v_%00h.jpg" /pano/merged.tif 0 -insize=93395x11485 -intilesize=873


best regards,
Klaus
