My Autopano Pro forum

Do you realize better results with multiband blending or another blending algorithm versus smartblend for large planar projected panoramas?

I was happy to be able to move images using yaw and pitch that yielded a complete sunset sky with the newer software, but smartblend still crashes the software.

These crashes are particularly bad because I had about three days of real time and 28:13:36 of CPU time invested in this render.  I had stitched a 154 Canon G9 4000x3000 pixel jpeg.  Then it rendered a 131,000 x 21,000 pixel image, but crashed in smartblend

I also probably need to consider dual booting XP and Vista so that I may exceed the system 3 GB limit = 2 GB user space + 1 GB kernel space.  Somebody mentioned that they "needed 5 GB to 6 GB for optimization"

My filesystem was 145 GB free of 298 GB.  I did not want to have file systems that are so large, but I had the store where I bought it put it together. The store employee made one file system.  The file system algorithms perform much better with multiple file systems that are smaller and not fully utilized.
