360x180° Panorama Tutorial - Pt.2: Developing the images

Part 2.

Having shot our panorama out in the field (see Part 1 of this tutorial series: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouOEM4cKKGc ) I will quickly show you in this present tutorial how to develop and post-process the RAW images in Adobe LightRoom to prepare them for stitching in PTGui.

There's nothing special shown here so you can safely skip to the next part.

The lens- and camera profiles that I use in this tutorial can be found on my blog: http://www.florian-knorn.com/?s=profile .

Thanks for your interest and stay tuned!

I have Lightroom for Dummies question, how do you highlight more than one photo at a time? I can't find the answer to that question anywhere. All I'm able to do is highlight 1 at a time. Please help!

@azglassblaster Just like in the Explorer / Finder: Click on the first, then shift click on another to select a range, or command/ctrl click on individual images to select those.

[Ephemeron01]

What's that in the first and second images? It looks like a tree is on fire or something.

[elfloz]

@Ephemeron01 Lol, yeah, looks like it. But it's just an outdoor light (the place is beautifully lit at night). It was actually quite dark when I shot the images.

[Csonjohn]

What are the settings on you lens....for this example. Im using 8mm/ f3.5 and I am not sure where is best setting.

[elfloz]

@Csonjohn Settings in which software? If you are talking about PTGui and use the 8mm Peleng then that would be "Circular fisheye" with a 180° field of view.

[elfloz]

@Csonjohn No rotation necessary, my camera stores the orientation and the images are "the right way up". Only for the nadir and zenith shot I sometimes have to manually rotate them since in those positions it's hard for the camera to determine the orientation.

[Csonjohn]

Tell me...how do you orient the camera on the pano head...do you require to rotate the images after they are taken before loading into ptGUI?

your the best of what you do
