Seems pretty finicky to me, but I just started using the trial, so I am sure a lot of m problems are due to my not fully understanding all of the settings and algorithms.Īlso, is there any way to cancel out of the auto detection and pano generation part of the workflow without having to force quit the app. Is APG really that sensitive to small leveling changes during rotation of the NN5L and capture?

PTGui had some very small vertical line issues (very small) and the 360 x 180 pano had no gaps above and below it due to a wavy horizon. The stitch introduced all sorts of horizon distortion which got worse with vertical line placement. I shot a 6 around, 1 zenith and 2 nadir pano with a 5DMkII and Canon 15mm fisheye, mounted on a Nodal Ninja 5L that was level all the way around the scene.

The EXIF is recognized, but the exposures are not grouped - is there an intermediate step in the detection phase of the project that I should be doing to let APG know the series is an HDR series? Also, it kept insisting that the zenith+2 nadir shots were a separate group from the 6 around shots, so that I had to check "Force all images into one panorama" in the preferences.Īlso, I have found that the stitching ability of APG is not so great on the couple of trials I have performed.

For the record, I used LR to convert my large RAWs into 2400 tall JPEGs, with EXIF intact, to do the trial stitch. This seems simple enough, but inconvenient compared to PTGui's straightforward, automated HDR stitching algorithm. While the literature indicates it can handle HDR pano stitching, I am not able to get it to work.Īny tricks? Most of what I have found has suggested that I combine the segments into HDR and then stitch the HDR segments. I'm trialing APG and I find that it has trouble with HDR panos, namely that it appears to not recognize the bracketed shots in the series and group them into brackets in preparation for stitching.
