mediavets said: Ron Simkins said: It is not simply the "poor" CPU performance of Flash that irritates Apple. It is primarily its proprietary nature. All Flash developers are ultimately still dependent on Adobe. Hence, Apple's push for HTML 5 and the open standards that it wants with it.
Is this a joke?
Everything about Apple is proprietary and Apple does everything it can to keep things that way.
Apple as a promoter and devotee of Open Standards? I don't think so!
IMO it's not the proprietary nature of Flash per se that irriates Apple - it's that it isn't their proprietary product.
Of course it could have been if they had snapped up Futuresplash before Macromedia did, or if they had snapped up Macromedia before Adobe did. Perhaps Jobs reputation as great visionary is not really deserved?

yep it's all proprietary except the web standards stuff. which needs to be open, what's your point ?

html5 is a reality.
anyway i agree, the main problem with flash is that it is proprietary. the rest of the web standards are open as it should be. flash is very widely deployed and is therefore sort of a 'standard' but it shouldn't be viewed as such.
i love flash for showing my panos (for now) but i'll be glad when there are no plugins required.
i'm glad apple took this bull by the horns as it actually seems to be making a difference, i mean even we are talking about it.

probably not, but those gitzos are totally rock solid, maybe brick solid is a better word. anyway it's a great find, my old 320 studex has been used so hard and is still great.

it was late when i was looking at that. i was going to mention that it mostly went together well, but it could definitely be calibrated better. it almost seems the tripod got bumped for the zenith and or one of the shots. and more than likely the camera is off axis with the arm

shoot a pano with the camera tilted down 10-15 degrees so you can see the rotator in the image, then look at the bottom cube face, if there is any sawtooth to the circle of your rotator, you are too far left or right, if the circle bulges or is clipped you are too far front or back

i took a look at the files and i can get it pretty close, but there were still about 4 areas where you would have to manually fix the blending errors in photoshop. your pano head is not calibrated correctly.
i could link you to the pts file i ended up with, but it's still got some errors due to the pano head misalignment.
you also need to pay a bit of attention to the area by the door where it was a bit difficult to get control points, but sometimes that happens. anyway if your pano head was correctly set up, you could have enough control points on all the other images that one pair can go unstitched.

you can see the errors in the door jamb and the drop ceiling in the hallway

since there's no other blue in the scene, just desaturate the blues using the appropriate range in the saturation tool. if they look too grey after that, maybe add some back and change the hue a bit. you can try the same thing with selective color, but you can't choose the color range like in the saturation tool.
