Betterama?
March 31st, 2007
The last one was created with Photoshop CS2’s automatic panorama maker tool. After noticing it looked like garbage, a person recommended a freeware program called Hugin because it’s ‘easy and automatic’. That might be true, but not for me. The program crashed a lot, but after 2 days of trial and error, I was finally able to produce a significantly awesomer result:
How it was done:
- Canon xti mounted on a tripod, placed in the center of the room, mounted vertically.
- 18mm lens (28.8mm in reality).
- Snapped shots at about 30 degree increments (13 shots in a circle) with the camera level.
- Snapped another set with the camera tilted more at the floor (12 shots that time).
- Threw the shots into Hugin and 2 days later produced a 700MB tiff.
- Final resolution: 10,655×2957
