Cylindrical panorama

[David Neale]

Up until now I've used Apple's own QuickTime VR Authoring Studio to create panos (why, oh why, don't apply continue with this gem?). It only works in Classic, so i thought I'd give the pano features of PE 2 a try. Seems reasonable enough for creating a partial pano, but how is it set up to create a full 360 degree pano? I can find nothing in the Help, nor is there anyhting obvious in the interface (the Cylindrical button seems inaccessible).

David,

Elements panograph (photo merge) option doesn't include cylindrical images.

David,

I'm not sure if that can be done in PE 2, but this stunning site called "Virtual Parks" by Erik Goetze <http://www.virtualparks.org/html/making-panos.html> has some information about stitching panoramas together and also features many 360 degree panos. You may want to contact him, he also uses Apple's QTVRAS and maybe he knows of something that can create them in OS X.
