Thanks, for the quick response John, and for a Super Program! I have had a go and produced a vertical example, can be seen here.

For a step-by-step instructions for vertical panoramas, refer to the FAQ article Vertical stitching. You'll have to do some of the commands outside the Wizard--the stitching Wizard can do nearly everything except the final rotation.

Greetings Panophyles, As a newbie, this has probably been addressed, so apologies, I have just bought V4.2 and love it!
Looking at the great Galleries, I want to do vertical Panos, if I can be pointed to a thread where this is discussed, I'd be very gratefull.
PF for ever!
P.S. I used to shoot on 6x17cm film.

I have used PF since version 3. I have wasted much time with other stitching programs. PF is simply awesome. I won't say it will stitch the impossible, but it comes so close that you begin to believe it should.
Great work John - & please keep it up. I look forward to easy vertical and matrix stitching in future versions.

I hope very sooner you will share more photos here. Alternatively you can add photos to our Web-site for freelance photographers so that more people will know about you. Our site is here –http://www.freelance-market.net

Hello All

Just got started in the feild of panorama reality tours - check out what has been accomplished in 6 days - A few glitches to fix and pictures to enhance - but not bad overall. I just downloaded this 3.4 version to compare with the current stiching program we are using now.

We work with another VT Stitching software offered by a national Virtual Tour Company, but have discovered your software has even them beat.
Look forward to working with the Bullseye Features once we learn the techniques.
Tried producing VERTICAL Photos today and now have another product to sell as well.
Would love to see more info on developing the QTVR capabilities for Products.
"GREAT JOB JOHN"

Hi Have just found panorama factory love it, but does anybody no how to print panoramas in full.
I use HP 840c deskjet printer,
I have a print that is 68" long & 8"high and would like to print in one go, rather than having 7 A4 size prints that have to be stuck together, which is pants.
look forward to hearing your views and ideas thanks.
snoopy.

Hi John,

Well, this is the third version of your program I have used, and they keep getting better all of the time. I've taken all of these panoramas and never done anything much with them - until now! I put three 19" monitors and two video cards on my system, now I can display my pano's as a background spanning all three monitors! Thinking about putting a fourth one into the mix, but I need another desk...

Thanks for a great product and some very worthwhile software.

Hi


I’ve just had a play with the New Pano Factory demo and it’s fantastic, straightforward and easy to use.

However I still need some help choosing the right equipment for the right job.
I just recently started taking some panoramas around my home with a Nikon 5700 without any lens adaptor with a standard Manfrotto tripod using a homemade bracket. Unfortunately I’m unable to get very much of my lounge in the image and it looks quite narrow. Please could anybody advise me on which bracket and wide-angle lens to go for (FC-E9 or something less extreme) so I m able to achieve a good panoramic image.


Also is this software able to handle fisheye images.

Great program. And great to see it's still being developed so aggressively. Good on 'ya, John!! ;-)
I was a tad surprised to see the most excellent descriptions at:
http://panoramafactory.com/camera_setup/setup.html
as I have found the program to be so forgiving.

Here's some hand-held pano's I did a while back:
http://raetihi.com/panoramas.html
Yes, there's some ghosting - it was was a fast shoot! (hey, I didn't feel too comfortable standing in the middle of the road! ;-)

Now I have to go and upgrade to see what new stuff is included...

Cheers,
MAL

I've been VRing for about 5 years now. It was PhotoVista that got me started, and since then I've probably tried at least 10 or 15 stitching packages, including every new release of the much-feted RealViz Stitcher. None of them come even close to Panorama Factory.

Your software is simply the most accurate and comprehensive package that I've encountered. The wizard works for 9 out of 10 stitches, and if the VR is especially difficult, you just slip into manual mode and tweak it till it's right.

The Competition: RealViz Stitcher is a cumbersome and awkward beast by comparison, and very time consuming. PhotoVista simply gets worse with each new issue, and insists on creating random (and sometimes hard-to-find) stitching errors thanks to its "intelligent" approach. VRWorx, whilst good for creating multi-node scenes, is just a blunt instrument when it comes to stitching, and is exceptionally flaky on PC.

Why Panorama Factory isn't the world-standard for VR stitching I don't know. People just don't know about it. Digit magazine in the UK frequently reviews VR packages, with never a mention of PF.

At the risk of boring everyone, I'll repeat myself - Panorama Factory is the very best VR stitching package on the market - period.

Excellent program. You can see one of the assembled panoramas on www.kencarney.com. If I studied the manual I'm sure it would be better, though it is really intuitive. I use a digital camera and a Bessa with 15mm Heliar, and the Kiwi pan head.

I have to be careful of my language here. This program is hot sh**t good!!! Having wasted shed loads of time with other "panoramic" progs which required loads of user input and produced weird and "wonderful" (?) results, I tried Panorama Factory. A 360 degree roughly taken with a digital camera produced a stunning professional result, I was struggling to see the join! Took a little time to suss out the cropping and produced a quicktime HTML (best after using the wizard for a first try to get to grips with the manual operation). After 6 hours was completely satisfied and bought the software!!

Thanks for this great software.

i made very good results with this and i´ve tested out very much of the other panosoftware.
the great thing of panoramafactory is the export function to many formats and the ability to stich every little piece of the photos (if you have time)

thanks for doing this and best regards

Hi John,

Have been with you since v2.4
You have created an awsome product with v3/3.1!! Many thanks.

Check out some of my early 360's @ hamilton-island-getaway.com & pano-photo.tv compiled with v2.4

I have just spent 2 weeks at my holiday home on Hamilton Island Great Barrier Reef Australia with v3.1 (yes - I take your product everywhere with me!!) and soon will publish the many pano's I did during that time.

I am using Canon G1 with Manfrotto Pano head. 3.0 has now taken me to another level in quality.

3.1 - yippeeeee

Many thanks for a great product.

John,

All I can say are good things about your product and the level of support provided for Panorama Factory!!!

I've benchmarked over 10 different stitching packages (see the stitching/panorama forum at www.steves-digicams.com). Your product is by far the most intuitive and the one pushing the limits agressively on capability and available technology.

I started using Version 2.4 and thought it was one of the best packages. Trying Version 3 was like a quantum leap forward from 2.4. You made the product better and easier to use (love the manual fine tuning and the new stitching wizard).

I look forward to continuing to use your product and providing useful feedback in the coming months.

Thanks,

Rob

John - great program and a pleasure to register it, just downloading 3.0 now.
Tip - I have an Epson 1290 printer and under Win98 couldnt print any larger than 2100 x 11176. That meant I could not scale panorama's up to print on wide (Super A3) roll paper. Epson support offered no help, but have since upgraded to XP and 1290 driver ver 5.2 - page limits are now 3290 x 32707 and can now do huge pano's - ripper.
Love the program, keep up the good work....

Hi John,
Have just been trying PF 2.4 that was on a CD with PCUtilities magazine (UK). It is great fun and a very clever prog. However I have limited income so was very pleased to find the freeware version (1.6) is still available on your very informative website. Will continue to use 1.6 and I suspect may find I need to find the money for v 3 later. keep up the good work.

I use a Mac for 98% of my work. Panorama Factory is
the single *best* reason I even own a PC. Outstanding
program -- port it over to Mac OSX and you'll have
lots of Mac fans as well.

Version 3's features make it a "no-brainer" upgrade.
Thanks for all of the new useful features.

I've been using other stitcher softwares that I "thought" were good. But, wow!, Panorama Factory beats them all.

In over all ability to stitch together some less than perfect digital panoramas and fix exposure errors, no other software does as well. Bravo for a great piece of software.

The only thing lacking is control over the QTVR files. Codec, quality, display size, start point, etc. However, I read in your excellent support forum that is coming in version 3. Great!

Panorama Factory gets my vote, and will get my $$$ too.

You one smart guy, John Strait! ;-)

Nice program, indeed! I simple love using it. See some results at http://shimaron.furry.de/photos/2001/panorama/
One question I have: You don't seem to support Canon EOS digital SLR cameras at all, which is IMHO a pity. And another thing: Why do you ask for maker/model and focal length used when this information is readily avalailable in the EXIF info?

All I can say is, "Wow!" I started researching panoramic stitchers a couple of weeks ago, and after trying numerous, including commercial products, there was really no competition -- I immediately registered Panorama Factory, and feel a good kind of "sneaky" like I've stolen a $400 program for $35. Thank you very much for such a wonderful program. We recently remodeled our home, and my extended family has enjoyed following the progress in the "virtual tours" and panoramic pictures that I've posted on our website. You've turned my modestly priced Kodak DX3600 camera into an incredible photography tool.
