Then scan the resulting pictures to the same resolution and same color correction/contrast and save them as PNG or JPEG (*.png, *.jpg). Better take such pictures from mountain passes instead.

Note about 360° pictures: they are usually not very interesting when taken from mountain summits: the valley is far below, barely visible because of the contrast, and the summit you are on is. Personally, all the panoramas on my site were taken with a hand-held camera, sometimes not even centered for a practical reason (like from the 2rd floor of the Eiffel Tower.). If you don't understand what I'm talking about, you can just ignore it, it's important only for pictures with both near and far objects. As you rotate the camera around a point somewhere underneath the lens, there should not be any observed parallax of the near object with the far background. To determine it, put an object near the camera. For perfect results you should rotate the camera around its optical center (different for each lens). Do not use a polarizing filter or you'll have too much sky contrast. Take a series of pics all exposed the same. Manually set the exposure by pointing the camera to a direction 90° from the sun. Do not use a fisheye (I don't know the formula to correct for those and I don't have one to try). You can take horizontal or vertical shots and you should preferably use a wide angle lens to avoid taking too many pics. I'll be fairly brief here: the pictures need to overlap at least 10-20% (more with wide angle lenses), they must be horizontal and they should preferably have the horizon centered (but we can correct for that in step 3).
#PANORAMA MAKER 3 CODE#
1 - Published the source code on gitlab (find the PanoWarp source code there). v2.3 - 4 - Corrected bug when reading greyscale images. v2.2 - 7 - Added PC screen resolutions for digital cameras. v2.1 - 0 - Memory footprint greatly reduced and several bugs corrected.

#PANORAMA MAKER 3 32 BIT#
Added support for greyscale and 32 bit images (PNG only, alpha channel is removed). v1.3 - 3 - Added dpi resolution for countries still in the middle age. You want the source code ? You'll have to buy several pictures ! :-) It's free, but if you want to support me, go buy some of my pictures or leave a tip. This small prog leaves a rather big footprint, but I don't want to waste time anymore with M$ compilers the LabWindows/CVI run-time engine takes room. If you have any problem with the install, contact me. Sorry this is not a PhotoShop/PSP plugin filter, but the Adobe SDK was a bit thick and the user input necessary here is more than just 'sliders'. PanoWarp v2.1 is free to download and use. This utility is called PanoWarp, and here is the tutorial for it. So one afternoon of Win98 bug frustration I decided to hack together a utility to deform the pictures using spherical trigonometry so they'd fit together. On the PC it should be easy to scan and stitch separate images together, right ? Think again ! It is exactly the same problem than drawing a flap map of the earth. At home I had a few panoramas made from pictures glued together on the wall. Some time ago I decided to revive my passion for panoramas using the PC. Obviously you need a Java-capable browser, like IE3/4/5 or Netscape 3/4. Note that they have changed their program and the classes are now organized differently. Shareware, but we won't need the functions of the 'pay' version. You could also use PhotoShop if you can afford it.
