@Douglas – Give Autopano Pro a try. I have had great success with this program. I would recommend using 25-50 control points per photo as well as smart blending. Save it directly to a JPEG because it will be too large to edit in Photoshop unless you have a monstrous computer.

Hi,
Wondering if you know the software that would stitch a 70 picture Translating Focal Point Panorama. I have spent a number of years working on an image that I took in 1989 when the bErloin Wall came down. I took 70 contiguous 35mm film frames of some grafftti on the wall as I sidestepped along the wall. I have assembled the images into a 330,000 pixel by an average of 3500 pixel horizontal panorama.
Uncompressed tif the image is around 4.5 GB in size. I had some horizon creep up anb down but stayed a constant distance from the wall. The color balance trends a bit as I did it back in Photoshop 1 and worked from left to right andf matched as I went. DO you know what softwatre could handle such a task as I would like to redo the image letting the computer handle the stitching and compare the results to see which is best.
Thanks,
Douglas Nicolaisen

The title is incorrect. This post has nothing to do with linear panoramas.

Hi Jaysen. I see you have the same camera as me (G7) and use Hugin. I cannot figure out what focal length and focal length multiplier to use. Which do you use when you have zoomed all the way out? I tried 7.4 mm and x4.7 but doesn’t yield good panoramas at all.

This advice is really going to help, thanks.

I fully agree with Chrlz. Those who do want to make nodal panorama’s will skip this tutorial because of the title while those who want to make linear pano’s waste their time visiting this good but irrelevant tutorial

Came to this page looking for info on *linear* panoramas, ie ones where the camera is moved along a linear path between shots. While the page is a good tutorial, it is about normal (nodal) panoramas, so you may wish to change your title..

[...] panoramic photography, so my praise isn’t just that of the VR ingénue. I’ve toiled to stitch my own panoramas in the past only to have users unable to load the Quicktime/flash/java plug-in necessary to view [...]
