Re: flash tilt parameters

Hi Markus,
The jpeg is the product of a spherical stitch using ptgui 8. The horizon is well below the center of the frame too. I tried padding the bottom of the jpeg out to "about" 2:1 yesterday. I may have missed getting it precicely 2:1 by a few pixels though. This changed the cylindrical parameters some but I still couldn't get the flash configuration to accept my upload as a spherical shot. I ran out of time to experiment at that time but I will try again with more accurate padding if you will put me on the late edit list.
Thanks for the help,
Peter

Then you can switch to "Type: Sphere", and the limits for the tilt will work correctly for both the JPEG in the flash player and the Quicktime versions derived from that.

When cylindrical is selected, I cannot control the tilt limits. The configuration page indicates that for cylinderical panoramas the tilt is set automatically. I've tried several other methods to get the configuration app to confine tilt with no luck. QT configuration seem OK. Any ideas?
