My Autopano Pro forum

Hi Alexandre,

Is this limit over the whole pano, or just between the two closest pictures? 

It sounds like I can't shoot a picture with a 12mm lens and then fill in with a 200mm lens.  But could I take several intermediate shots, for example one shot at 12mm, one at 24mm, one at 50mm and one at 100mm and one at 200mm, and would they stitch?

I attach a screen dump of a stitched solution.

This is the workflow I used:

1. I used 'select images' to load the two source images into a group

2. using the settings icon for that group (spanner + screwdriver) I set 'force every image to be in the same panorama'

3. I then set off detection which did produce a 'panorama' but with no Control Points detected so images unlinked

4. Load this 'panorama' into the panorama editor

5. Start up the Control Point Editor and select both images using ctl-left click

6. In settings for the CPE and at the bottom set CP detection to High

7. Draw marquees round both of the yellow boat on the beach, then select add control points

8. CPs found select, in CPE, optimise

9. In PE select render but be sure blending is set to 'Multiband' - smartblend could suppress the helicopter as a ghost: I haven't tested that

10. Do a render.
