My Autopano Pro forum

RC1.  I have downloaded RC2 and it rendered the pano successfully.  I'm loving APG   Seriously, I was stunned at how well it imported using Papywizard data and found control points; there were no spurious CPs in the sky even   One optimization and BAM! it was perfect

I'm very impressed by the rendition of the sky with all those missing control points. One of the many virtues of papywizard, I guess.
In your successful rendering with RC2 what blend algorithm did you use? What is the final pixel size of the pano, and what format did you save in?
Finally, are you running a 64 bit system?

Yes, Papywizard is GREAT!  It would have been a horrible pain in the &$$ to deal with that sky without the Papywizard import feature.  I used multiband blending.  I decided that I need to mask out a few things, so I plan to render it again.  I may try smartblend this time, but not sure if it is worth the much longer render time.  A render at 100% size is 91094 x 29739 and file size is 10.1GB in .psb format.  My Mac is 64 bits, but I can't use the 64 bit version of APG yet, since I am on OS X 10.4 (you need 10.5 to run the 64 bit version.)  Time to upgrade

I was having some issues with the 32-bit version crashing as well...installed Ubuntu 64-bit through Wubi which made a 20-gig file on my hard drive where it lives and run autopano through there.  Works beautifully and didn't need to re-partition or anything.  Easiest linux install I ever did and Autopano runs much more stabily then 32-bit XP

Tarnis,

Interesting... Do you have a 64bit processor? How much RAM do you have?

Mike.
