What are y'all using for pano's on the ol Mac? The assembler in CS3 is reasonable, but has some trouble with some of my handhelp panos. It works great when I set up the camera on a pano head; however, when I try to put together some of the complex hand held pano's it has a little trouble. <BR> <BR> I found a pretty good one PanoVue assembler but it does not look like it works on Mac. What makes all the difference is the ability to use up to 6 flags to link the different images together. Anyways, anyone know of a good Mac pano program? <BR> <BR>LAter <BR> <BR>Bakes <BR> <BR>Here is one I took today (It needs a little PP love but my CS3 is back at home) <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/524352.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR> <BR>here is one I took a couple of months ago but was unable to stitch with CS3.

I never use anything other than Photoshop. I feel I have more control by manually editing the layers, opacity and tools such as clone,masks etc. rather than using some type of stitch program.

AutoPanoPro does a better job with blending then CS3, it's about the best 1 click assembler I've tried to date.

Here is a panovue stitch job <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/524684.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR> <BR>Here is a CS3 stitch job <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/524685.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR> <BR>I think I am going to try Real Viz.

I know CS3 doesn't blend as well as the rest but are you sure you had the blending mode selected when you ran that one? <BR> <BR>That's about the worst job I've seen. <BR> <BR>Even the panovue one isn't that great. Looks to be a tough stitch with the variation in the sky and the shadow on the wall. <BR> <BR>Looks like panovue does a better job correcting parallex then cs3 as well (another thing APP does better then CS3 as well.

Here is one I did in Photoshop 7.<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/524968.jpg" alt="Upload">

I doubt I had any blending on when I "slapped" that one together in CS3. Truth be told though, it would be tough with any application as the wall was actually a circular monument and I just hand held a POS casio exlim camera. <BR> <BR>Here is a pic of what the wall looked like <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/524975.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR> <BR>CS3 is capable of some fairly reasonable stitches though. I used CS for this one and it turned out fine (Hand held, 3 photos, D200) <BR><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2354/1536719412_6a3e1e9979_o.jpg" target="_blank">http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2354/1536719412_6a3e1e9979_o.jpg</a> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/524976.jpg" alt="Upload">
