Hi /p/

I bring you today something I shot two days ago and only got to process until now... and I might be needing aid, if you can help me.

This is pretty much the first time I've stitched a panoramic shot with my dslr since I got it, and I couldnt fail to notice banding. This was merged with Canon's included PhotoStitch. So here are my doubts...

- There is a better stitching program than this one, correct? If so, please do tell which one (CS3 maybe?)

- How I remove/avoid/reduce that banding artifact? Patching in photoshop or will increasing the number of images used produce a smoother stitch?

- Noise becomes much more apparent on long exposures, clearly. When should I apply noise reduction? Using the company's raw editor before even converting to 16bit TIFF (in photoshop), or once it's in Photoshop or... just open the RAW in photoshop?

Thanks in advance /p/

Also inb4 shitsux, I know this isn't too good, but I'm looking forward to shooting more and better pictures.

I hear PTGUI is pretty good.

Set WB manually and make sure your exposures are all the exact same
the first 2 pictures aren't the same exposure (or the WB is messing with it, its hard to tell)

And yes PTGui is the best, Hugin I just experimented with the other day, its decent aswell (And free)

AutoPano Pro? Uses PTGui stuff as well I thought. Works like a charm. :)

PTGUI is pretty good, but I use CS3 and it works just fine, it blends the colors and things to make it match (like could be done to your sky in places)

Vincent,
>the first 2 pictures aren't the same exposure (or the WB is messing with it, its hard to tell)
they actually were the same exposure, but I did fuck up on WB. It was shot on autoWB which usually does fine but is sure to fuck up with a sky like that. I tried correcting it through the RAW adjustment, but the seams are still there. I'm sure they were all shot with the same speed and aperture though.

Also. is F9.5 fine for this?

I'll take a look at PTGui and upgrade to CS4 when I have the chance, thanks guys.
