Re: [PanoToolsNG] Re: Auto rotation causing stitching problems
Something like APClean is still planned, but maybe not for the next
release..

Twice in recent weeks I have struggled with poor stitching with zenith images only to find that the cause of all the trouble was that the image was upside...

... Yes, but on the other hand, if you use individual shift parameters for all images this is corrected easily. You need a bit more control points, of course....

I recommend to disable this option ('honor exif orientation') in PTGui for now. JPEG rotation is a bit messy; since the rotation tag is part of the EXIF data...

Joost you have misunderstood the problem. It has nothing to do with FOV. The problem is that autorotation will sometimes rotate the zenith and nadir in an...
