A smaller 'hole' on the nadir = less work in Photoshop
Posted: 10 Jul 2006 at 23:55 GMT
Hi all,

How to make a smaller 'hole' on the nadir with a Nikon 10.5mm to have less work in Photoshop after :

fromparis.com/html/technical_us_quicktime_vr_smal...

Nikon D70 + Nikon 10.5mm + Nodal Ninja 3 + Stitcher Unlimited or PTGUI 5.x

Ok, perhaps everybody know this trick, sorry smile

Hey Eric
Stealing my ideas. laugh
Thats how I done it since I got the 10,5mm. But on my Canon 20d I can only use -7 degrees.

However my 5D is perfect as it gives me 140degrees ( more than 10,5 on Nikon)
I use -10 degrees with the 15mm Canon and get enough to see the edge of my Manfrotto rotator.
Here is an illustration on the overlap on a D200.


PTGui ?? Have you got a new MacBookPro

Yooo Hans !

Yep' sharing is good for karma and the pano community.

It's so boring to patch the nadir...and more to patch a BIG hole !

Now, I'm waiting for the next pano head genearation: anti gravity and invisible. (Manfrotto Star Trek VR head confused )

Your graph' is nice.

No, just a small and fast MacBook, it's enough for me, to keep the best tools from the OSX world and from the Windows world.


It's cool, no ?
And you, did you change your PB17" ?

Tell that to Matt

I just started to include my nadir in the main stitch.
How?
Discovered an unknown feature of PTMac.
Alpha channels on source images works.

Eric,

Stitcher Unlimited = Stitcher 5.5 ?
Does it accept fisheye directly ? and 8mm ?

Yes, until now, for me, it the only way I found to stitch automatically my Canon5D / 10.5mm picts. (3 + 0 + 0 wink )

For the 8mm and all other fisheyes, I think too without "defish".

Eric,

Where did/how did you get a copy of Stitcher Unlimited?

I did not think it was released yet?

Hi Eric;

I am currently investigating by thorough experimentation if PTGUI does better than Stitcher 5.5 (or vice-versa) in automatically stitching three images in portrait mode from the (EOS 5D+ Nikkor 10,5mm) combo.
At this moment, after two days of hard work, I could not yet decide which one is actually the best. They both do that great!

- Justin / Rez : yes beta test for Stitcher 5.5 U.

- Hi Genius Master Michel,

I was also trying with PTGUI with different lines arguments for the Autopano in plugin or cropping some images parts ...bla bla...but all my zenith was always ugly. Sometimes I was better with a Canon Mark II DS but never perfect. boring :- (

Today, ST55 does the job it's ok for me...

Did you find an Autopano magic formula or an other idea ?
Anyone ?

Do you have the same problems on the extrem zenith points ?

Eric (hate patching my nadirs and hate the manual points)
