What users of Panorama Tools and PTStitcher say:
 
I have downloaded  your incredable flexible tools which are a marvel to someone developing vr software for 5 years its great to see some tools which have such a wide scope.
T.L.

I've seen your movies on internet and are all of good qualities.Your tools are much more sophisticated than the other
commercial tools we can find today.Infact in your movie all the bands of colors which are typical of QTVR and photovista, don't appear and the color is uniform, without bad transition.

I am writing to thank you for creating Panorama Tools and making itavailable through your web site. I've been doing a number of experimentswith a multiple fisheye lens set up, where I strap three cameras together,or use one camera hand held. I have been using Panorama Tools on bothMacintosh (preferred) and Windows machines to  adjust the circular image toa photosphere square format. I then use QTVRAS to stitch either two slightlyoverlapping images, or three or four very overlapping images. Then I usePanorama Tools again to re-map the panorama for QTVR or Surround videodisplay.

..erst mal möchte ich mich grundsätzlich für Ihre kostenlosen QTVR-Tools bedanken. Ich benutze siehauptsächlich zur Korrektur der starken tonnenförmigen Verzeichnung des Weitwinkelvorsatzes für dieCoolpix 950, und bin immer wieder überrascht, von der hohen Qualität der Ergebnisse. Vorher habe ich dasSharewareprogramm "Floppylens" benutzt, das zwar einfach zu bedienen ist, aber zu starken Detail- undSchärfeverlusten führt ...

Thank you very much for your wanderful help.We have use your information and it works perfectly O.K. We could not beleive it when we got it. It is very useful for us to know allthis.
J.M.

I just wanted to let you know that I am very happy that you releasedPTStitcher 1.0b1.  It's a really a useful companion to the PanoramaTools plugins.
A.L.

You the Man!  Thanks for making a great tool even better.  I'll try it outright away.

ich bin regelmäßiger Besucher Ihrer Seite und habe seit langem PT Average für Windows erwartet . Jetzt muss ich mich dafür bedanken , die Qualitätssteigerung im Scann ist hervorragend !
W.K.
 

I just wanted to say you are amazing for creating this tool.  This is the simple process I was looking/hoping for.

I've been using PanoTools for quite some time now and quite frankly, I doubtthat I could use the images from my Nikon CoolPix 900 without them. I am verygrateful to you for unselfishly making PanoTools available to the VR community.
A.M.

A big thank you!   Just tried it to make a spherical vr from my 950 and your software works great.
J.R.

Ich habe gerade Ihre Tools ausprobiert und bin begeistert.  Vor allem derSinc-Interpolator ist SUPER.
Nachdem ich ebenfalls eine Nikon Coolpix 950 habe, habe ich mit demPanoramatools Correct Radial die Barrel Distortion von einigenWeitwinkelbildern ausprobiert und es funktioniert hervorragend!
R.T.

Wow. PTSticher is very nice. Many thanks for the software and for all your efforts in the VR arena. You are an inspiration.
J.S.

Just a quick note to say thankyou for making these toolsavailable.  They are brilliant!  The remap tool in particular
gives the best results I have seen so far (way better thanPhotovista v1.0 or Infinite Pictures (smoothmove) PhotoSeamer).
A.N.

um Ihnen zu Panorama Tools zu gratulieren muß ich mich wahrscheinlich in eine ziemlich lange Reihe von anderen einordenen <g>.
P.S.

As if you knew I just started experimenting with an 8mm Sigma.I had been busy for some time trying to get things working usingPTools when you announced PTSTitcher Windows.No more than ten minutes after downloading I had the first full sphere spinning around in my browser. Ifthere would be a Nobel Prize for immersive imaging it should
be going to you. And I'm sure lots of others feel the same way.
Thank you Helmut, for this easy to use, yet incredibly wonderful tool.
F.P.

Re: masking out moving peple
The best way I know of is to use Helmut's Panorama tools to stich the imagesinto a layered photoshop file, then open it in photoshop and mask (using thelayer mask tools) around the objects that are not common to both images.

I found your site absolutely amazing. Thankyou so much for all of your technical information and hints, I found the interpolator test very intersting especially seeing the results of the 5 degree stages of rotation to 18o degrees. I am an IPIX user and I am on the whole not happy with the results that I have been generating and found your information on the IPIX system and their desire to "get rid of you" very interesting not to mention a little paranoid.
Please keep up your vigil and that amazing work that you do.
