Hello everybody. I would like to use the PTeditor method to remove my tripod/pano head on a 6000 x 3000 pano. However, reading Martin Shakeshaft flash tutorial: www.docphot.org/pteditor.htm.

I do not understand how you create a batch file and command to assign more memory to make the insert view work? How do you create the file pted.bat and the command, java -jar -Xmx450m pteditor.jar?

Any thoughts appreciated!

If I were to use aperture mode (AV) to get the appropriate shutter speed for all of the rotations and then take the average EV and then shoot in manual mode would this be appropriate method?

Thank you Andrew

I presume what you mean is that I Can use PTGui as a stitching software and Tourweaver to convert the panoramas into Virtual tours?

Thank you for your reply

I would also like to convert the panoramas into virtual tours,adding thing like maps,hotspots and radars. PTGui does not seem to support this. Could I use another software to do this and would they be both capatable together?

Hello everyone.

Can anybody help? I am proud to say that I have found my Nodal Point or Entrance Pupil of my Sigma 8mm Fisheye Ex Lens. However, the problem is now to find the right stitching software.

Can anybody recommend a software brand to use? It seems
mind boggling to me as a newbie which one to choose? I will be doing the majority of panoramas in doors!

Furthermore, can anybody give me any tips to solve the exposure problems that can arise when taking panoramas?

Equipment used, Canon EOS 450D, Sigma 8mm EX DG Fisheye, Manfrotto 303 SPH

If anyone can help or point me in the right direction to find out, I would be most grateful!

Warm regards
William
