Panorama stitching tool

I used it before 2.1.1 when I was using 1.9 version of Digikam.
Now trying it with newer version it works well but instead of producing a panorama image with real shots it seems using thumbnails only. I say this 'cause the produced image is all black with in the center a small panorama assembled image from images I used. So all seems working just on thumbnails. Dimension of the new produced panorama is very small 200-300 kb starting with 2-3 images of 10+ Mb each.
Have some of you just noticed this strange behaviour or may you suggest some digikam configuration in conflict with the use of Panorama stitching tool?
I used both systems: either selecting images from inside Digikam album or launching Panorama from K-menu.
I tried also using Hugin but without wizard it seems very difficult to go in touch with it.
thank you in advance
all the best
Antonio

Impossible. Pano tool have just been release with 2.1.1.

I suppose that you want mean ExpoBlending tool to generate pseudo HDR
image. Right ?

Re: Panorama stitching tool

No, simply I was not precise in my post. I had Panorama as external program when I had Digikam 1.9 (or 2.0 I can not go precise now) and I remember I used it choosing icon from Kmenu. I am not talking about Expoblending which I used just one time and I remember all worked well. By choosing Panorama icon it started the same wizard as the one now starts from the inside Digikam 2.1.1 or this is my comprehension. Sorry not to be well detailed.

Hi Antonio,

Did you get any error prior to the final make?
What output did you check jpg, tiff, hdr?

If the image is mostly composed of black, the size will be most likely
small if it is a jpeg. What is important is the size in term of pixels
(what is the height and the width of the image in pixels).

Note that a big black area does not mean necessarily that the
thumbnails would have been used (which is would been strange). Anyway,
I need more data about the panorama:

- As Rinus wrote: what kind of output did you ask? jpeg? tiff? hdr?
- What kind of photos were you trying to stitch? jpegs? raws?
- What is you version of Hugin? and was it the same before (this is important)?

Best Regards,

Re: Panorama stitching tool

I made a few panoramas that went very well, but I have been able to
reproduce with pictures that ar in fact not related, and I got an error
about make before the panorama was stiched. The result was very creative
and amusing but was in size incorrect.

Antonio, would it be possible to upload your photos somewhere to see if
it happens here too.

Re: Panorama stitching tool

In reply to this post by Benjamin Girault

Some of the answers are in the post for Rinus. Starting photos were normal slices of panorama without black areas, I understand your point. About Hugin versions the current one I have installed is 2011.0.0.0f9fdaf56720 as stated in the info window. Panorama stitching as launched from Kmenu brings these info:

Build date: Sep 14 2011 (target: Debian) Version 2.1.1
Hope I will try to go in the process as soon as possible enclosing the image of result (if possible) in this mailing list.

thank you for interest

Thanks for your respons Antonio.

The cause will be hard to find.
I can not reproduce using JPG and not with PEF. Could you try to convert yours to jpg and see if it still happens?
And what was the original format of your RAW and PNG?

Re: Panorama stitching tool

In reply to this post by Benjamin Girault

Please enclosed find the bad result as I said with "thumbnails mood".
Here you can see the good results https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/9ghOH14sAwDaEMi76YiekQ?full-exif=true
Fortunately I can understand from this page that the Hugin version looks the same Hugin 2011.0.0.0f9fdaf56720 but the difference seems to be Digikam version (right one 2.1.0, wrong one 2.1.1 enclosed file).
Hope this will clear the situation in your mind and will be helpful to you (and me). Obviously feel free to ask any other details you need to know.
thanks
Antonio
