  • Google are grabbing my tiles

    Quote from klaus.krpano

    (Btw - I'm really really sure that Google will not merge the tiles back to the original image )

    I don't trust Google. They have raided my gallery and everything they can get to. Without asking. See attached image from "google image" search. They have downloaded it, it's not a link.
    They have also cooperated with NSA, so there is no trust left.

    Do "krpano protect" prohibit Google to "merge the tiles back to the original image" ??

  • Google are grabbing my tiles

    I'm using Kolor's APG 2.0 (based on krpano 1.17) to make panotours.
    Lately I have seen from the logs at my webhotel that "Googlebot-Image" is systematicly grabbing the tiles from my panos. I have not seen this before, they have grabbed jpg's and thumbnails but not the tiles.

    I have attached a session where the Googlebot-Image grabs almost a thousand tiles !
    The bot zooms too, it grab tiles on all levels.

    Has anybody seen this behaviour and know whats happening ? How do the bot get the tile filenames ?
    Do Google have an ambition to download it all, for later to put it together to get the original image ?

    And in the end: how does "krpano protect" work in a case like this ?
    Does it protect me against Google *smile*

  • Panotour-Pro Reselling

    I have made panos with different tools since 2005 and are for now using Kolor's APG. Since 2009 I have used krpano for presenting them on the web, and though not being a programmer I've managed allright.

    It was almost a revolution for me when Kolor made Panotour available: I can do 95% of the trivial work in Panotour and do the refining with my krpano knowlegde. For me the krpano/Kolor cooperation is really a lucky strike ! For now Autopano is showing only a small fraction of the options in krpano and I hope Kolor will adopt more of the power of krpano. They have made a very fine start !

  • view fovmin turns autorotate off ?

    I have a 360 cylinder pano, where I don't want to allow viewers to zoom in.
    And I want it to autorotate.

    I have tried maxpixelzoom= and fovmin=
    They both "turns off" zooming. But they both also turns off autorotate.
    Is there some other way to do this ?

    btw:
    there is a parameter for view: limitview="auto" for which I can't find documentation.
    can limitview be used for my case ?

  • Color-shift

    The properties for the picture in PS CS5 is shown in the attachment, and is sRGB IEC.... as far as I can see
    The second attachment shows a printscreen of one l1-tile. left through browser right in photo viewer (= like PS CS5)
    So I am still wondering: why is the browsers (IE and Opera) doing this color shift ?
    The pano is at http://www.rundskuer.no/krpano/nystoylhornet_horisonten.html
    Viewed at a calibrated monitor the colors are much too vibrant.

  • Color-shift

    I have a pano in tiff, adjusted in Photoshop, and I drop it on the "MAKE PANO (MULTIRES) droplet".
    To my surprise the colors has changed quite significally in the result, unwanted.
    In the attached file the result from kmakemultires is on the left, through a browser, and in Phoshop to the right.
    Is there a way to avoid changing the color like this ?

    Edit:
    I have checked the tiles, and they are OK. kmakemultires is not the culprit.
    It must be a viewer/browser/flash phenomenon.

  • how do I adjust the height in beta 9 ?

    In beta8 and earlier I adjusted the height to 92% like this

    // if (typeof(deconcept) !== 'undefined')
    {
    if (deconcept.SWFObjectUtil.getPlayerVersion().major >= 6)
    {
    var so = new SWFObject("krpano.swf", "krpanoSWFObject", "100%", "92%", "9.0.28","#000000");

    so.addParam("allowFullScreen","true");

    so.useExpressInstall("./swfobject/expressinstall.swf");
    so.setAttribute("xiRedirectUrl", window.location);

    so.addVariable("pano", "orstafranivane.xml");

    if ( so.write("krpanoDIV") ) { var mousewheelfixes = new SWFkrpanoMouseWheel(so); }
    }
    else
    {
    document.getElementById("krpanoDIV").innerHTML = 'ERROR:

    Adobe Flash Player 9 needed


    [url='http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer/']
    ...click here to download...


    ';
    }
    }
    else
    {
    document.getElementById("krpanoDIV").innerHTML = 'ERROR:

    ./swfobject/swfobject.js not found


    ';
    }
    // ]]>


    In beta9 this is changed (simpified) to:'

    // var swf = createswf("krpano.swf");
    swf.addVariable("xml","orstafraytrehovden.xml");
    swf.embed("krpanoDIV");
    // ]]>


    And I cannot find a way to adjust the height to e.g. 92%
    Do anyone have an idea ?

  • Multires of picture size 121000x4000

    Problem solved, sort of ! I have commented out the preview:

    <preview type="CYLINDER" url="sundalsnipa_horisonten.tiles/preview.jpg"

    It now loads 6 tiles instead of 70 and the panorama loads at no time.
    Its OK for me, but maybe there is something fishy in the template or elsewhere ?
    *smile*

  • Multires of picture size 121000x4000

    it now looks like:
    <image type="CYLINDER" multires="true" tilesize="810">
    <level tiledimagewidth="112106" tiledimageheight="4126" download="view">
    <cylinder url="sundalsnipa_horisonten.tiles/l3_%00v_%00h.jpg" />
    </level>
    <level tiledimagewidth="56053" tiledimageheight="2063" download="view">
    <cylinder url="sundalsnipa_horisonten.tiles/l2_%00v_%00h.jpg" />
    </level>
    <level tiledimagewidth="28027" tiledimageheight="1032" download="view">
    <cylinder url="sundalsnipa_horisonten.tiles/l1_%00v_%00h.jpg" />
    </level>
    </image>


    but it does not work. the log shows that 70 level 1 tiles is loaded at startup.
    this is what one tile look like: http://www.rundskuer.no/krpano/sundals…/l1_001_001.jpg

  • Multires of picture size 121000x4000

    the xml now looks like :
    <preview type="CYLINDER" url="sundalsnipa_horisonten.tiles/preview.jpg" />

    <image type="CYLINDER" multires="true" tilesize="810">
    <level tiledimagewidth="112106" tiledimageheight="4126" download="view">
    <cylinder url="sundalsnipa_horisonten.tiles/l3_%00v_%00h.jpg" />
    </level>
    <level tiledimagewidth="56053" tiledimageheight="2063">
    <cylinder url="sundalsnipa_horisonten.tiles/l2_%00v_%00h.jpg" />
    </level>
    <level tiledimagewidth="28027" tiledimageheight="1032">
    <cylinder url="sundalsnipa_horisonten.tiles/l1_%00v_%00h.jpg" />
    </level>
    </image>


    And download="view"does not do the trick. From the log I can see that it loads 70 tiles for the initial look.

  • Multires of picture size 121000x4000

    I have made a multires from a picture that is 121k wide and 4k high, see http://www.rundskuer.no/krpano/sundalsnipa_horisonten.html
    The result is fine, but there is a small annoyment :
    - the multires level 1 is 104 tiles, 57 wide and 2 high
    - I thought krpano would load only the pieces displayed, by demand
    - it seems to me as all 104 tiles in level 1 is loaded before the loadwheel stops
    the xml-file is the one made from the templates in the 1.08 beta 8 package.
    any suggestions ?

  • multires from really big panoramas

    I tried to save it as TIFF with LZW compression, but it exceeded the 4GB limit.

    then I sliced the pano horisontally in upper and lower half. I processed both with kmakemultires, renamed the tiles in lower half to follow the tiles in the upper half. after editing the xml it was time to look at the result.

    it was fine for the combined tileset, exept for the border between the upper and lower half. it was som kind of vertical stretching of the tiles while passing back and forth of the border.
    maybe some parameter in the kmakemultires can be turned on/off ?

    the best solution would be to do as Gigatiler, accept PSB-files (in addition to jpg and tiff)
    this would be a natural development, since Autopano, PTgui and others can produse PSB-files when the limits for jpg and tiff are exceeded.

  • multires from really big panoramas

    Autopano has produced me a panorama from 250 pictures and I have saved it at a 11gig PSB-file. everything looks fine, photoshop CS4 handle the file nicely.
    So starts my troubles: how do I make a multires krpano from this PSB-file?
    Photoshop won't save the pano as TIFF, because it will exceed the 4gig limit for TIFFs.
    kmaketiles only accepts jpg and tiff.
    any suggestions ? (I use Vista 64bit)
