stacking with panorama tools?
Hi, I've got a series of pictures of a tree, taken over the course of a year, and I want to combine this into a video showing the passing of the seasons. I can happily make the video, that's fine, but what I'd like to do is line up the images a bit better. They were all taken from roughly the same place in the yard, but some are pointed up/down a bit more than others. I imagine that this is the sort of problem solved with one of the panorama toolsets. The corner of my house, the tree trunk, and the basketball hoop in the neighbours yards are fixed objects. However all the panotools I've looked at seem to be set up for finding common ground and then stitching the images. I just want to realign a bunch of images. Same problem at the detection stage, but the output is a bit different. Has anyone tried this (presumably) and did they get it to work? (and if you did, I'd love to hear about it Cheers, Karl P |

Yes, I've done a similar thing PSP9 too, where you show on stacked layers
(the photos you want to alter) one at a time, using the background as the 'perfect' template. It's still going to be reasonable painfull getting it pixel perfect tho'. Alex "Cuz" wrote in message ...

stacking with panorama tools?
I was actually only interested in using something like panorama
software that could automatically do it for me. Without being overly patronizing, I'm well aware that I can stack them as layers and do it manually. I just don't want to I feel that it should be much like panorama tools. Take a bunch of images, and look for the common points. Only in this case, it's going to line up a whole heap of images on top of each other, instead of spreading out to the side. And I want it to spit out the images individually, not as one big stacked blob. Same technology for detection, different output. |

Karl,
I wasn't suggsting you group the layers at all, more that you show each one, one at a time, above the template background in order to get them as good as possible, rather than attempting to do it in a panoramic editor.

The object of panorama software is to get one single image. I don't imagine
this is what you want. -- Joan "Karl P" wrote in message oups.com... I was actually only interested in using something like panorama software that could automatically do it for me.
