optimal panorama size only computed in advanced/expert interface

[jose1711]

hello,

i really like using assistant for my workflow. unfortunately for the stitching phase i always switch to expert mode because assistant does not give me an option to compute the optimal size for my panorama.

or perhaps i am doing something wrong?

thank you,

jose

Maybe not using expert mode all the time? What problems do you have
with it?

The assistant is calculating the optimal size as last step. See the log

<snip>

Searching for best crop...
Calculate optimal size of panorama
Setting canvas size to 3451 x 3203
Searching for best crop rectangle
Set crop size to 235,224,3216,1883
</snip>

Also when you press the create button, the optimal size is calculated and given as start point.

By default the assistant is using 70 % of the 1:1 scaling. Higher pixel numbers don't show more details and are increasing only the processing time.

If you want to nevertheless higher pixel numbers, you can change this factor in the preferences, tab assistant.
