hi all, after surmounting some minor difficulties with autopano, i ended up with a stitched and blended pano. file size is 2.51GB - a 16-bit per channel TIFF. i blended manually with the latest enblend available for Mac available on Harry's web site, because the plugin for Hugin crashes on my system due to a memory issue. i set enblend to use the -- compression=NONE option (and the -v and -m 2500 options; none other).
Hugin's output (or better: Enblend's output) is not read by photoshop. photoshop says that it isn't recognized as an image file. i was under the impression that photoshop CS3 can read tiff files up to 4GB in size. i know that it should, because i have worked in photoshop in 2+GB tiff files before, although i usually save them as PSB if they're so big. regardless, 2.5GB should not be a problem strictly due to the size. does anyone know what can be done to improve matters? normally, i tend to resort to NIP2 - an app that's good at handling enormous files. i then let NIP2 re-save the file after removing the alpha channel from Hugin's output and then it's usually ok for photoshop. however, i recently reinstalled my OSX and no longer have NIP2. it can only be acquired by compiling it from source using macports. that failed due to error messages i don't understand. so i'm pretty much f****d now... any help will be much appreciated. jannes --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
