EXCLUSIVE: How to stitch Panono images offline yourself and how to fix Panono stitching errors

Image
Panono is the highest resolution all-in-one 360 camera with 36 lenses and 108 megapixel resolution. Its only drawback is that the stitching is often not perfect and is tedious to correct.  In this post, I will discuss how you can stitch Panono photos yourself, or fix Panono stitching errors. Panono is my favorite 360 camera for photography.  Its images are very detailed, and the dynamic range is unequaled among 360 cameras.  Its colors look natural and images look fantastic with only minor editing.  Here is a sample: THE CATCH However, until now I could not recommend the Panono without qualifications because the stitching is usually not perfect, especially when there are subjects close to its minimum distance of around 1.5 meters.  When there are stitching errors, they are often glaring, and ruin an otherwise excellent shot.  Worse still, they are not easy to correct in post. When you have often unpredictable errors like this, it's hard to rely on it for pr...

DEALS: Here are two excellent deals on the Oculus Rift

Image
If you missed the Black Friday sale on the Oculus Rift (reviewed here) , don't worry!  Here are two great deals on the Oculus Rift : 1.  Buy an Oculus Rift and get a $100 Amazon gift card for free You can buy an Oculus Rift for $599 and get a free $100 Amazon gift card! (Not an Oculus Store credit.) ​ 2. Best Buy: an Oculus Rift plus VR-Ready PC for $999.98 (save $330) ​ The PC is by CyberPowerP, with these specs:  - 6th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-6402P processor - 8GB memory - 1TB hard drive - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics with 3GB dedicated memory - 6 USB 3.0 and 2 USB 2.0 ports - Windows 10. The only hesitation I have with this bundle is the GTX 1060 3GB.  Nvidia says it is VR-Ready, but it could have difficulty with some of the more processor-intensive games.  The Rift does have asynchronous spacewarp, which enables lower-end PCs to run VR smoothly, so this package 'should' be OK but I haven't tested the GTX 1060 3GB to know for sure.  I do have the G...

TECHNIQUE: How to easily resize your 360 logo / watermark

Image
It's easy to shrink or enlarge your logo / watermark for your 360 photo or video.  Here's how. I posted a tutorial for making a logo or watermark for 360 photos or videos here .  Let's say you want to now want to resize the logo for a particular photo, or perhaps create more sizes of your logo that you can later use.   To change the size of the logo, all you have to do is adjust its height, using Photoshop or other image editors: This works for logos of any shape, whether circular, square, or some other shape. The resulting logo becomes larger or smaller in proportion to how much you adjusted the height.  If you decreased the height by 50%, the length and width of the logo (or its diameter for a circular logo) will each shrink by 50%.  Note that a 50% reduction in height makes the logo 1/4th as large as it was before.  Vice-versa if you enlarge the height. Using this technique, you can also adjust the size of the logo to cover the tripod legs (or yo...
