Re: New PTGui version
Denis Gliksman 2001-Jul-27 19:50:29
Hi Joost, and others
Even if my main tool is the Mac I decided to have a look at PTgui,
considering all the good noise being done around it Š
So installed everything and it worked very well at the first time on my PC.
There are very impressive features in Ptgui
(even if there are e few things i haven't tried yet (t param). See philo's
mail)
(the only problem i had was to find the pano12.dll that didn't appear in the
PT folder, even if it was there, a window's joke ?)
One things I don't like is when you put the points, they only appear when
you click "add", i would have shown them when you click in the image, or is
it a bug in my machine ?
I did a test with 7 images from Helmut "windows samples".
This sample is interesting because the last image is rotated landscape since
the others are portrait mode:
1. Optimiser was lost with the 7 images, what ever i tried.
2. I cleared the last image and With 6 images i could get a good result
quickly.
3. I tried to bring back the zenith image and the optimiser get lost again.
I'll make a test with my images to see
Congratulations
Denis
