@Henri ("Never edit edges of an equi ...")
Well, Henri, I do know that.
But also noticed that the lens-blur filter, which -I suppose- was used by Jez, affects the edges, too.
Therefore my question 
@Jez
Thanks for opening your "making-of" notebook a bit.
Will try again ....

Thanks for sharing.
I'm really attracted by this work and, after reading the blog and tutorials about 'Fake Tilt Shift', I tried to 'produce' something similar.
I wonder if the 'original' was an equirectangular or not; 'cause in my case (working with an equi) I finally had a quite visible seem after the 'treatment'.
Any hint?

Matt Rogers said: ....We are working on a locking option though so stay tuned.
Will do. Nice to here that.
Wouldn't that be a good idea for the adjuste, too?
[well, a bit offtopic in *this* thread...]
Thank you Matt
Paul Thomas said: ....very positive and so perhaps it would stay in situ atop a pole...
I'll see if I can try this out at the weekend..
Thank you Paul. Please let us know your experience.
A locking option would be nice, anyway.

yes, Matt, we all like you, too. ]

Hi Matt,
seems, the Atom comes with a build-in click-stop system (4,6,8,... depending on lens), which is really nice and usefull.
But (maybe I missed some info), is it also possible to lock the head, so it does not turn freely and unintentionaly ?
(e.g., when used on monopod or on top of a highpole, with the pole turned instead of the head)

Erik,
beside FPP (flashpanoramas pro) there is another player out there which is/works quite similar (quality, plugins, xml ...)
You may have a look at krpano [www.krpano.com/index.php?lang=en].
Klaus, the developer, plans to release a Gui soon.
And, don't forgett to have a look at Pano2VR [www.gardengnomesoftware.com/?lang=en] which offers flash-output too and comes with (some kind of) gui, already.
Well, and of course, panosalado [www.flashpanos.com/blog/79], the new open-source flashplayer!
All four are highly customizable and quality is pretty much the same (imho).
Saludos desde Tenerife,
Klaus (panocanarias)

I thought is all down... Sorry! But what do you mean by "distorted wiki"?
Eugen,
that's a long, ugly story. You may read more here: www.panotools.org/debunk .
Please, don't mix panotools.info (Johns toy) and panotools.org (the pros tool) !
John loved to confuse people with his kind of pantools.info pseudo-wiki.
Thank goodness, he stoped that now.

Hi Eugen,
there was nothing of interest or value to be found at panotools.info-site.
Very few forum-members, very very few postings (most of them by John himself) and an outdated and distorted wiki.
Most of panorama interested people already know, where to go. Beside other places: panoguide, panotools NG Group (tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/PanoToolsNG/) or the german Panorama-Community (www.panorama-forum.net/).
The panotools-wiki home is: wiki.panotools.org/ .

Klaus

Hans, we still are talking about Flash 9 <-> Flash 10 differences ?
[ and not about, how elegant various flash pano-viewers can handle bitmap limits .. ]
I did a quick net-search (tinyurl.com/5ynomt) and found this eg.:
www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/image_api_02....
(Well, this is about flash 8, but I suppose, the limit is the same with flash 9)
It says:
"Note: The maximum dimensions of a bitmap in Flash Player is limited to 2880 pixels
in either direction (width or height)......
A bitmap that is 2880 x 2880 pixels, will use roughly 32MB of RAM."
Well, I'm neither a "flasher" nor a "coder"; I'm just dependent on information I get or can find.
Most of flash is still a mystery to me. Maybe I'm still going wrong ....

Sorry Hans, I think, you're wrong this time.
These days I'm testing krpano a bit and therefore I'm in contact with the devoleper;
that's where I got some of the information from.
As far as I know, flash 9 largest bitmaps are limited to 2880x2880,
whereas with flash 10 this limit will now increase to 4096x4096 or 8192x1024.
So, this seems to be an improvement, indeed.
(BTW: with krpano the panos are internally divided to smaller pieces, anyway).
And yes, krpano does support gigapixel panos.
The krpano flash 10 - test No. 2 (krpano.com/flash10/) actually is a 300 meg pano, eg. From krpano website:
"Additionally to the "piecewise" loading the panorama image can be "multi-resolution".
Only the tiles of the "current"-resolution will be loaded.
So it will be possible to render gigantic panoramas without loading the whole panorama."

Fatchai, have a look into devalvr.js.
Somewhere about line 60 you should find this line:
[ var usePurePlayer=1; //0: PTViewer is used as Java player 1: PurePlayer is used (write correct names below) ]
Check correct setting. Should be "usePurePlayer=0" (for ptviewer). Hope, this will fix the problem.

Klaus

Hi Jay,
I'm not sure, that I fullly understood, what 'view' you're looking for, but:
if you are on windows, you may try DevalVR. It offers the "invert panorama" view, which is somewhat a view at a "turning bowl".
You have to 'feed' DevalVR with an equirectangular image and then activate for the "invert panorama" icon under the text-menu.
As far as I remember, this should work with the standalone version and, via script, with the plugin-version, too.
Regards,
Klaus

Why not just contact the developer, Helge Kippenberg, directly?
www.panoclub.de/jatc/
By this occasion you also may tell him, what quirks you do not like.
Helge is always interested in getting response
