Here's my first pano, sorry the quality setting had to be set low in Photoshop and even the file is larger that I would like.

Hans has Jook's Michael Jackson New York scene too on panoramas.dk
In Sydney there was a kind of flash mob memorial gathering in the city last night
http://www.mediavr.com/flash/mjackson.htmThis was a kind of a hassle to stitch and it reminded me of an issue with Smartblend and Enfuse in PTGui. Smartblend treats each of the extracted images from a raw file as separate images and will often blend them differently -- which is not what you want. So sometimes you need to Enfuse each pair first and then put them into PTGui. But PTGui wont do a simple Enfuse operation on an image pair. It always wants to transform the images into some kind of "panorama".
So I made pairwise Enfused 360 equis from each extracted pair of jpgs and then created alphas on these in Photoshop for the image areas and then loaded these alpha-ed equis into PTGui to stitch and Smartblend into the final equi. (Who says that panorama makers use excessive jargon ;-))
