![]() Within PTGui the real power is in the manual control point process when something goes wrong with its stitching AI and it can't blend two images together. These days I can handhold a wide angle lens and take a 3 shot pano in seconds and let PTGui figure it all out for me or fly a drone with a 10mph crosswind and still get a commercially viable pano 350ft off the ground. I still remember when you had to weigh down your tripod and use a remote trigger and silent shutter just to keep from introducing vibrations into the camera, and even then it took hrs in Photoshop to fix the stitching errors. It is incredible what you can do with drone cameras and Pano stitching these days. The stitching engine really improved massively over the last few years or so. It really is fantastic software, IMO it has no equal for panos. I have never used Affinity Photo so it may even use a custom color space, I would definitely try exporting to sRGB color space.Īlso, what is your output color space? I use Adobe RGB for my color space within all of my cameras for maximum quality but I always deliver sRGB to my clients for maximum compatibility. Are you using sRGB color space when you export from Affinity Photo or Adobe RGB? If you are exporting as Adobe RGB, PTGui may not understand the color space which would cause undesirable side effects. I would check my JPG export settings in the PTGui Export tab.Īnother problem could be the color space. ![]() If your PTGui JPG export settings are set to something really low like 30% quality it could result in the problems you describe. Below is a link to what this all looks like when it is complete.Īre you exporting from PTGui as JPG? I always export from PTGui as TIF and convert to JPG using, not because I have had any problems with PTGui's JPG conversion but simply because I prefer for any final processing I may need. To fix the Zenith hole you need to do a sky replacement in PhotoShop or use the blending features in PTGui. ![]() I assume that you have the EVO II 6K, I'm not sure what the FOV is for the 8K. The Zenith hole (directly above the EVO II) will be larger than with other drones because the EVO II 6K has a 35mm FF equiv FOV vs other drones which tend to have a 24mm or 16mm FF equiv FOV. From there I modify the website code to integrate into the client's website If this is a spherical 360 pano I instead import the full TIF image into PTGui and export as a website project or I import the TIF into PhotoShop and add the sky then import into PTGui.If this is a rectilinear pano project I then import the TIF into Paint.Net and crop the image to the delivery resolution and export it to the final pano using 100% JPG during export.If this is a rectilinear pano project and there are any stitching errors I then import the pano into PhotoShop and fix any stitching errors then export to TIF.Export the final Stitched images to a single TIF.Import all TIFs into PTGui and stitch the images using PTGui.Export all images to full resolution TIF images.Import all images into Lightroom and apply the usual color correction and horizon straightening.Shoot pano with 20% overlap using RAW images.I use PTGui all the time for both Rectilinear Panos as well as full 360 panos below is my workflow:
