Awe come TJ! Haha not too hard. I have one t try editing I took from 630' in the air in the at louis arch. Should be cool

 

Yeah, I tried to dl gimp, not working. Canon has their software. Its not great, that's for sure. I have put a few together from tonight, but you can see the stitches in the one with the better scenery. I did a few 360s, they are ok. Not sure why the stitches are so visible, maybe other than crappy stitching software. I don't know. I may give it another go tomorrow. Or just crop the top and bottom of a photo at 10. haha jk. I need to resize them too, the one I like the best from the evening is 70.7mb. hahahaha

No, there might be a plugin for it, but I haven't looked that much.

 

I'll search for some plugins tomorrow, I would think there would have to be one.

 

What is the canon stitcher program you all are raving so hard about?
I have the "Panorama Maker 5" program that I've used most recently (haven't used it in a while, though) and I thought it worked great! Previously I used the "Zoombrowser EX" stitching command and it was pretty much crap. Veeerrry obvious seams, but I was very impressed with the panorama maker 5 when I finally tried it out. I'll have to give it a go in a moment or tomorrow, depends on how tired I get after downloading my photos from today.

 

Nope.

I just ordered Essentials.

 

Haha, yeah the scenery around this place is pretty awesome. Kevin, I don't know who was raving about it, but I think its crap. Maybe I'll check out that panorama maker.

 

Haha, oops, forgot to switch on the sarcasm font.
It sounds like the canon one and the panorama maker one that I have are two different programs, right? I'm curious because I'm pretty sure my panorama maker came with my camera body, but it's from a company called ArcSoft, not Canon

 

$10/month for how many months?
Adorama has Essentials on sale for $60.

 

My submission:

Vineyard Sunset Panorama by 92shawman, on Flickr

Bummed about the distortion in that telephone wire, but oh well

 

My submission. The stitch isn't great. If I am going to do more of these definitely going to look into better software, probably going to end up with PS anyway. This is 21 images. 360*.

Dude...we covered this

Get Hugin

Edit: damn too late..

 

Which is dumb. Could end up spending thousands on it.

I have it..

Cheap

 

It's not dumb for the majority of people.

 

Damn, I missed/forgot about that post. I'll check it out.

 

Might as well! Hopefully works better I use a different one but it looks good.

The one Marc uses seems to work awesome. Bob uses it too. I can never remember what it is called. He posted a link to it as well and it is also free for windows user as I know you have.

 

Only if you can turn it on and off for the months you need the program.
It's a good deal if you save up your shots and spend a month editing, then can cancel and reactivate it in 3-6 months.

But $10/month is kinda' dumb when Essentials is $60 and does everything most people need.

If you NEED all of the functionality of CS6, then ya... $10/mo is better than $700 and you will stay current, but few really need more than the Essentials/Lightroom combination, which is a year for the break even if you get them on sale.

But all I saw on Adorama or B&H was a $300 pack with a 1 year subscription to "Creative Cloud"
Where's the CS6 for $10/mo deal?

 

Thanks Marc, it is great stuff and the price is right

Did a few panos with a P&S camera years ago, but really wanted to do a vertical. Tried several of both and ended up with this:
