What can I do to reduce the stitching time PTGui on my system?
The time required to stitch a panorama is influenced by many factors, such as the dimensions of the panorama, the computer hardware and by other applications running at the same time. Some general hints to improve the stitching performance: • First of all, stitching time depends mostly on the output size of the panorama. The size of the source images also has a slight influence. Render the panorama at a smaller size to reduce stitching time. • Stitching to 16 bit output will generate twice as much data as when stitching to 8 bit output, and thus take longer. • Using Viewpoint Correction will significantly increase the time required to warp an image. In general it’s not a good idea to use viewpoint correction for all images. • Tone mapping takes much time for larger panoramas. Using exposure fusion may be faster. • External blending plugins such as Smartblend may get slow for larger panoramas. Try the built in blender of PTGui instead. • There are two settings for tuning performance in
