Creating Panoramas

From A User:

I have recently purchased panoweaver in order to use and issue images as shown on your web site, however the images i produce appear very blurred and not anywhere as sharp as the one on your site.

I am using the panoramic button as instructed and it produces what appears to be a quite good panoramic image( ive cooked it for 50 passes) but it obviously is still not good enough. Can you suggest what else i can do?

That image that you sent me is 1844 x 922 resolution.

You'll get sharper panos using higher resolution images, but of course the rendering time is much longer to get those.

This one on our website was made with a 4000x2000 jpeg:

That's the one linked to in this tutorial:

I originally rendered it to 6000x3000, Here is that pano:

It is a little bit sharper than the 4000 one.

To make the 4000 one, we shrunk the 6000 image to 4000x2000 to make the pano a little smaller, for speed on the internet, but I didn't really notice much speed difference.

However, the high-res pano, 6000x3000 would not play on my smartphone for some reason, so we went with the 4000x2000 version. I used the HTML5 + Flash option to make the page.

When I make panos using a fisheye lens, just a hobby, I always stitch together a jpeg that's 6000 x 4000...but I may start using a lower resolution, unless I can figure out the problem viewing them on my phone.
