Autopano Pro converting RAW

Accidentally took 2 shots meant for this panorama in RAW instead of JPG
large.
PTGui wouldn't open them but Autopano Pro did it no problems.

A little noisy but it was a long exposure just on dusk.
I think it is time to clean the sensor looking at the top left corner.

And it would be SO hard to convert them from RAW to Jpeg yourself, wouldn't
it :-)

Where did I say I couldn't convert them from Raw to JPG? Just a lot
quicker to put them straight into the pano program. I now see why that
other man said not to cross post.

How much raw conversion control does the pano program give you and how
is the output quality compared to something like CapOne?

Hi
When making a PANO in a 3 : 1 ratio use the Golden section rule. The "
third" rule is just not up to it when you compare.
Move the end of the line to the centre and it will get better and more
dramatic

Also get some drama going by increasing the saturation of the sunset
gold. and darken down the top and base of the picture to make some
simple improvements.
Any noise can be removed by shooting at lower iSO and geting the right
exposure.
IT can e a mistake to blame the long exposure.

Burnt out highlights and blocked up shadows are a product of poor
exposure and lack of contrast control. Not "digital"
A very nice iamge

Very nice image. Very satisfying feel to it. Very good use of leading
lines and the horizen is just below center and level. What was the
exposure time and f/stop? Which camera and lens combo you used. I know
you probably have already said, but I didn't see it.

The noise is very limited in the screen I see and the dust and or
droplet in the upper left could be cloned out. If you can't get back
to the site to reshoot after cleaning the sensor.

Keep shooting. Very well done.

Nice work - I like the composition - maybe it would have benefited
from a more interesting sky*. I find the foreground a little odd - it
seems to get brighter towards the camera, which hints at flash... (-
surely not! but it might be worth toning down slightly to remove the
perception..)

* - I can relate to sky issues.. I set myself up for a pano shoot in
Brisbane at lunchtime yesterday - the sky background looked great...
but just as I got ready, a large cloud bank moved into exactly the
wrong place, and I left with nothing useful after waiting over an
hour. sigh, there's always tomorrow, I guess.

please ignore that stupid troll,
he posts mainly in aus.tv, a well
known troll hole.

Great work. Yeah, time to clean the sensor
in mine as well, after the last trip.
Wish these things came with a warning, rather
than finding out later on that the shots all
have "spots"... Maybe the sensor-shaking
folks have got it right, after all.

Anyways, like I said: nice stuff. I like
these "smoky water" shots, they create
a great mood.
