Panorama show stitch line

Hi there,

When I am creating the panorama I get a stitch line from the far ends of the panorama. How can I get rid of them? I did not had the problem before using other software.

I am looking forward into hearing your advise.

Hey Paul,

there´s almost no way to help you without any detailed infos about how you stitched the panorama, if you rescaled it after stitching, if or how you processed the image etc....could be anything - even a krpano-problem.

Best regards
Nupsi

Hi,

the krpano tools will never add such lines - the input images will be always taken as they are and their content not modified!

But it's known Photoshop problem that happens when resizing the non-flatten (not to background layer reduced) images. In this case Photoshop will use transparent pixels as 'border-pixels' when scaling and this will introduce slightly transparent lines at the border of the image.

Best regards,
Klaus

Hi Nupsi,

Thank you for replying on my question so prompt. Yes you are right. I am currently uploading a multi resolution example so you can see what I mean of a photo I took with a Gigapan Epic Pro + 5D MKII + 50mm. 1.4 lens.

Any way, the stitching software I used it Gigapan Stitch. There are 2 reasons why I use this

1. I'ts fast
2. Give the best results (other programs do not like +200 images even on my high end spect iMac)

If I create the panorama in pano2vr I don't see the seam / stitch. I however do not want to use pano2vr.

Dear Klaus,

Thank you for this. I did not resize the image in photoshop. Any way the line is visible. I am not claiming it was caused by krpano. Not at all :) I just want to get rid of it :)

As mentioned above I used a Giga Pan Pro Epic + there stitching software.

Hi,

okay, have you checked the image in Photoshop (or any other image editor)?

is there this line? (can be also in the alpha channel)

best regards,
Klaus

Actually I exported it directly from Gigapan Stitch to krPano and the line is there.

I read somewhere that Gigapan Stitch sucks big time (mainly because of this seam / stitch issue) are you recommending any other stitching software that is able to handle 285 images ordered?

Ok so here a small update on what I just found out.

The Gigapan Stitcher makes a 4~5 pixel black line at the right side of the panorama. It does not add the line, but destroys what was originally there. Now this is not really a big deal (accept for the fact that it is super stupid it the first place... *thumbdown* )
I know this because if i subtract the 4 or 5 pixels form the panorama krPano gives a warning the image is not a complete spherical 360x180.

The solution I am currently using is zooming in into photoshop, take a 5 pixels selection from what is there exactly 5 pixels away from the far right end corner, copy past this and move them 5 pixels to the right.

Sorted. *blink*

PTGui does not work properly with my Gigapan Epic Pro.... or does it?

If I make a controlled motorized panorama with 285 photos it takes forever to stitch them together and after a VERY long wait it didn't use all photos, resulting into gaps full of emptiness.

Any advise on that then?

That's because you don't know how to use the software yet. All the professionals use ptgui except for some hardcore masochists that use hugin under Linux. Try going through the documention for ptgui.

I've been using PTGui for "normal" panoramas for more then 3 years now. But how complicated can it be that even when you use the Align to grid function it still doesn't work.

I'm sorry, I thought you said you were using the trial software.

For ptgui support, you should check out the ptgui gui support forum.
