These options influence the panorama’s creation once the detection process is completed. They act on the panorama appearance and define the default color correction settings.

Panorama layout

• Preferred Projection:
  let you choose the default projection type:
  • Automatic: the software automatically chooses the most suitable projection type among Spherical, Cylindrical and Planar. The choice is determined by the panorama’s FOV.
    • If the horizontal FOV is smaller than 120° and the vertical FOV is smaller than 90° then the Planar projection will be chosen.
    • If the horizontal FOV is greater than 120° and the vertical FOV is smaller than 90° then the Cylindrical projection will be chosen.
    • In all other cases the Spherical projection will be the preferred choice.

You can force a projection type to be the software’s default. Be careful however, as if your panorama is 360° and you choose a Planar projection, only a small part of the panorama will be displayed.

• Spherical projection
• Cylindrical projection
• Planar projection
• Mercator projection

• Preferred Extend: allow to choose the default panorama size.
  • Clamp to panorama content:
    the final size of the panorama will be the full area containing no empty pixels.
    
  • Maximum projection range:
    the size of the panorama will be the full projection mode surface.
    The projection area for a Spherical projection is 360°x180°, for a Cylindrical projection 360° x 162° maximum, and 162° x 162° maximum for a Planar projection.
    This setting is useful if you always want to generate 360°x180° panoramas even with partial panoramas that do not cover the whole projection area (360°x91.03°).
    

Color Correction

This setting allows you to choose the default color correction mode when the Auto color correction is activated.
