How to create high resolution 360 Panoramics

Hmm.

That can be overridden - if you are an Admin on the computer.

‘Run as admin’ is no longer available in the context menu - I can’t be bothered to delve any deeper! And before it became unusable to mortals MS filled it with spammy fluff which put me right off.

This is Group Policy on your PC, nothing to do with the app. Basically, you need to change the ‘trust level’ to allow execution of *.msi files.

Then you have much bigger issues than not being able to install an *.msi file.

We clearly must be referring to different versions of MS ICE, as mine seems spam free.

[martin_t]

Maybe - but I’m fully up to date with Win10 (home…) and gpedit.msc does not exist. I can’t be bothered to attempt hack it.

@martin_t

gpedit.msc does not exist

The windows 10 home edition does not support gpedit.msc it doesn’t have it unlike other editions of windows 10’s . But you can follow this link they explains you how to workaround it here

Hmm - what’s on the home page when it’s launched? I certainly recall the change from the basic interface of the original version to the spammy remake.

I have just stumbled upon this link …

Various panoramic stitching applications available for download (Win | Mac)

Hugin ( /PTGui - which both use the same engines, as I recall) is my go-to for ones that need manual intervention where ICE gets confused.

I have a high resolution pano edited in lightroom and then exported as jpeg. Trying to upload to Kuula but just is stuck on preparing forever. Low res no problem, but the high res file of 140mb is not working. Any idea?

Not sure. Have you tried PNG? Is your width no larger than 16384px?

Try panoee

No limits on file size

Introducing Panoee - Kuula killer, you decide

This isn’t meant to be a Kuula bashing post, I’ve been using it for over 3 years and a massive advocate of it, we here at GADC recommend it as the goto for posting 360 panoramas for a good few reasons Free accounts (that do most of what you need) The embed options let you post here in the nice ‘one box’ preview Nice and simple to use Its what lots of use so advice is always on hand 100 uploads a month (plenty of space for the amateur user) But I’m always on the look out for alternatives, and …

That confirms what I thought - no file size limit.

Exceeding the image pixel limits immediately creates a message and the image doesn’t upload at all.

[Jancvandenberg]

I have not tried PNG, but my width is fine. Will give it a shot tonight and see. Thanks for the advice.

[Jancvandenberg]

Thanks. Will give panoee a try!

Any thoughts on PTGui?
Autopano got bought out by and then killed by GoPro so its not available now.

Perhaps read the whole thread and you shall find what you seek ;o)

Great images!
Did you use a pano function for the 360 image? There’s always quite a bit of bald sky with my Mini 2 spherical panos and I was wondering how you’d completed the sphere.
Many thanks.
