| Thanks again David. I will open that PTO file tomorrow and let you know whether or not I would like you to send me that 189 MB file.
Of possible interest to everyone, I got a MacBook Pro today and will try using Hugin and my images with it, and tell everyone later what happens.
Had sushi for dinner.
On that panorama, I selected the images
in my file manager and ran Hugin's Generate PTO tool. I use Linux,
I don't know if Windows has that capability.
Then I went to the panorama preview,
clicked on the Assistant button, then clicked on the align button,
and got a 360-deg panorama.
I think if you open the PTO in Hugin,
you should get the same pano. Hugin may tell you that alignment or
control points have changed, or something like that, but I think
that's something you can ignore.
I think I added some points manually,
because there were a couple of image pairs that didn't have any
control points.
Adding horizontal lines to the images
that have horizons, then running Align again, should level the
images in the panorama. I didn't try that in the PTO file I sent.
It improved things quite a bit in my first try at the panorama,
but that one only gave me a 180-deg panorama.
I have a TIFF image of it, if you're
interested. It comes to 2274x3494 (not cropped), 189MB. On the
left end is one image, then a black area that shades into the next
image. I have no idea what caused that.
Enjoy your dinner!

Thanks David. When my panorama was in that shape, I spent a lot
of time with Photoshop “fixing” things. But my real question is
whether this one will be “sharper” than the one I produced. Do
you think if I open that pto file in Hugin I’ll get the same
panorama? I’ll try that in a while. Did you create a tiff image?
Right now I have to go buy dinner.
Did you let Hugin find control points? Did you add any
manually?
More questions later.
I didn't use any horizontal
lines in this one. They would have helped fix the wavy
horizon.
Attaching a screen shot and the
PTO file that produced it. Neither of them came out as
straight as the original one you produced.

Great
David. Please attach it. I'd like to see it.
No problem.
I've never made a 360-deg pano. I don't know
how to make one at all. So I might simply not be
doing it right in the first place. But the second
time I tried, I got a 360-deg panorama from it.

I screwed up. I
was pretty sure I had only included the *_1
files, but I see that I did include two _3
files by mistake. Sorry 'bout that!
But the 12 _1
files: 0_1, 30_1, 60_1 ..., should make a 360
degree pan.
Yes, I used your zip file, the one in
the link below. It doesn't have 12 images
in it, it has 14.
These two images don't have any
mountains or ocean in them: 120_3.jpg and
210_3.jpg. The 210_3 image has a part of
the same beach that's already covered in
the 210_1 image.
I think the *_3 images aren't needed,
and apparently you removed them from some
other zip file you uploaded to Google
Drive?
I've never made a 360-deg panorama, so
I got a 180-degree partial one.

David: That’s
confusing. The 12 images: 0_1 through
330_1, all have either the ocean or
mountains on the horizon. Did you use the
zip file that had all 12 images? If some
of those 12 images were removed, the
panorama wouldn’t have been complete?
When I tried the Hugin
Assistant, it found control points
on all of them. I don't know
anything about using Translation. I
did eventually get sort-of straight
horizon but only after removing two
images that were mostly building
foundations that had no horizon as
part of them.
Thanks Carl. Any
idea why the optimizer tab only
shows up then? I spent hours
trying to get the optimizer tab
to appear There are so many
things that I just do not
understand. I don’t understand
how people learn all these
options.
Indeed it couldn't find
points for those images.
The Optimizer tab pops
up when you have Optimize
\ Geometric \ Custom
Parameters selected.
Carl:
Can you tell me a
little about your
experience? Did Hugin
tell you that it
couldn’t find any CPs
for 120_1 &
150_1? Did the
Optimizer tab appear?
Did the stitcher
report that some
images didn’t belong
to the set?
I
tried to make a
panorama of your
photos but I
failed. After
years of using
Hugin I still
don't know what
I'm doing. Maybe
someone else can
give it a go.
To
be clear, I am
hoping that
someone in the
community will
take the 12
images in this
zip file and
try to create
a panorama
using Hugin.
When I do
that, I get
strange error
messages that
I do not
understand.
The resulting
panorama won’t
be
satisfactory
for SkySafari,
but at least
I’ll find out
what’s causing
the errors.
Trying once
again!
Forgive an old
stupid man,
please.
