when you used photo stich?

i just did my first360 degree pic of a room and i thought it was the coolest thing how it did a superb job by itself !..

i wish the file wasn't 6mb so i could post the picture :)
anyone know how to do this..

seems like if i view the picture outside of photo stich it gets a little messed up

Last year i got really keen and did a night photo of my local town.
It took quite awhile because i'd make some mistake or other and have to go back at the same time the next week to try again (when the football fields were lit up).And then the moon went away and i'd have to wait a few weeks 'till it came back at the right time of night.
Eventually i had it pretty well sussed,doing it completely in RAW/fully manual settings to elliminate all the previous problems i ran into.
Guess what - i **STILL** couldn't get the stupid camera to give the same colour ballance/contrast to each file!!!
Eventually i just gave up until i'd learned what on earth was going on...but i never did bother yet.

Here it is downsized example for the web (255Kb)

I do like it alot but those obvious blend marks drive me nuts :(

For panoramas, the common errors are to use automatic exposures and automatic white balancing.

It's different at night, but for daylight, I flip the camera to Manual exposure mode and let it meter the scene maybe 45 degrees away from the sun. Then I lock in that exposure and shoot the entire panorama, whether that is six or sixty exposures.

That's what i finally learned :)
It still didn't work though- perhaps there are some variances in the way the RAW program was converting them to Jpeg? I used identical settings for them all.

(i wonder now how i converted them...did i use canon RAW or convert them with irfanview?)

I did one on Friday with 16 images, using Photoshop CS and it stitched perfectly. Problem came when downsizing it - had to resort to Photoshop 6.0
will stick it in travel & landscaped section.

what would really impress me would be a panorama print :)
I'll have to get around to it one day
