Re: Time Lapse Partial Panorama-revision



Hi Bradford,

my statement from the previous message...

<<<<<<<The other
day I have tried a grid chart I have with low contrast features like red
lines on white paper......PSCS3 did not like that very much>>>>>>

I have to take that back. Just after I wrote this I got an idea to do the test differently again. I applied the ptlens filter to the images before auto layer alignment. Auto blended duplicated layers and tested the difference of each layer (autoaligned) against the blend.....nearly a perfect result.

My workflow:
4 hand held test images were taken with Canon G3 on a grid target (red lines on white paper low contrast) 1m distance with deliberate shift of min 1 inch in 4 directions. Import in to CS3>apply PTlens>compile in one doc as 1 background and 3 layers>select all layers>auto align layers>make duplicate image >convert background to layer>select 1/4 section of each layer with overlap to each layer and delete inversed selection>select all layers>apply auto blend layers>flatten layers>import alingned 1st image as layers on the flattened duplicate>blend option show difference of each layer from the top one after the other.
3 out of 4 layers were pitch black perfect, only one showed one section a neglectable pitch off.


I did the auto blend layer copy because each test shot had a light variation from the shifting and different built-in flash directions and slight focal changes (back and forth an inch or two).

That is impressive result to me. It would be a good and fast way to align frames for a time lapse movie, after all.

Cheers, Milko
