Talk:Panorama Editor
From Autopano
"Blending: Use to determine which blending mode will be used on seams"
'Seams',as a term, comes out of the blue. If images are to make up a panorama then they must overlap - else no place to put Control Points.
Suggested text, then, "which blending mode will be used where the images that make up a panorama overlap."
"Note: * Some tools are using the keyboard and/or the mouse, like the Layer View mode. "
Not clear where this is here; is true variously in APP - why single out Layer View?
Might become clearer when the documentation about the Layer View is written?
Added later: but then I found stuff about Layer View however I got to it through the link against geometry editing - but there is no link by the layer view icon. Navigation?
"This [.pano] file is a plain text file and can be opened with any text editor."
The implication is that this file can be edited directly by the user. This file is, I think, in XML format. Whatever, it has embedded parameter descriptors. Unless you think those descriptors are all self- documenting/evident, a table linking the descriptors to the functions, in the UI, where these parameters were originally set, would be helpful.
"Autopano Pro also supports other very popular project file types: the Pano Tools project file formats. Can import from and export to these file formats."
I think you are after saying something like this:
"APP supports the project files of other popular [panorama ]applications - {list of these}. APP can import from and export to those formats."
"The Status Bar: displaying information related to shooting conditions. This information is useful to monitor the coherence of the capture. For example, for a complete panorama, the FOV should return a Theta Min/Max -180°/180° and a Phi Min/Max -90°/90°."
I think you are after saying something like this:
"The Status Bar: displays information about the coverage of the panorama detected. The Field Of View of a panorama is summarised by two sets of angles, expressed in degrees, Theta horizontally, Phi vertically. In terms of the panorama's Center Point, calculated by APP, Theta Min/Max -n°/n° gives the coverage to the left, -ve, and right +ve; Phi Min/Max -n°/n° gives the coverage down, -ve and up, +ve. Reviewing these summary statistics for the detected panorama, you can judge whether you have achieved the coverage expected, and whether the center point - displayed[, by default,] in the panorama preview - has been positioned correctly.
{?Then advice about what to do if user thinks images have been missed, and about changing the center point.}
The sample image under 'Editor Tab' has the incorrect spelling, 'mono transfert fonction'
