Hanauma Bay from the steps along the north rim: 25 rows x 70 columns. Mahalo nui loa to Randy Sargent for stitching this beast! Banding, again, due to strong trade winds and continuous cloud banks. Too many people to use the "pause" function efficiently, so I just let the body parts accumulate.

Hi John, As a fellow gigapan poster without a Gigapan Beta, I find it very annoying that we do not have access to the gigapan forums where this sort of thing is discussed (I guess), and we poor plebs have to resort to using the comments field of someone else's pano to communicate. Illah did give me the url of a forum intended for non-beta gigapanners, but no-one uses it because, er, no-one uses it. I can't really help with your problem. I use XP SP2 with 1.5GB RAM but don't use the gigapan stitcher because of its limited functionality compared to eg, Autopano Pro. When I have used the gigapan stitcher it didn't crash. Not sure how many images but *way* more than 25 (8MPix) - probably 100. APP will handle up to 300 before it becomes unreliable - in my experience that is.

Wonderful Image! Congrats! My big question is how the sticher can use 1,750 photos without crashing. I tried using the Gigapan stitcher with about 25 photos, each about 5 megs, and it crashed. I was using WinXP SP2 with 1.5GB ram. It would help GREATLY the rest of us if those who have the experience can share the optimal system configuration required to create these wonderful 1GP panoramas! Many thanks...

Great image! How did you upload this pano? As far as I know the uploader only works with TIF/LZW files and TIFs are limited to 2GB (4 if you have a proper implementation). A 6GPix image means a 18GB uncompressed file and LZW isn't *that* good at compression afaik. gigap anner@kilgore.demon.co.uk
