forcing a panorama to stitch with too less control points

[Wolfgang Ganter]

hey guys,

i shot about 80 pics of dust on a glass slide under the microscope. ptgui fails completely to put it together automatically. so i moved all the pieces in pt gui at the right place. the merge preview looks awesome but i can t get it stitched because there are actually not enough detected control points. if i try to auto-improve, the results it gets super bad. is there a way to force ptgui to stitch, or do i have to manually add a gazillion contact points?

please help!

Simply do Create Panorama and ignore the warning of control points not
being optimized.

Switch into Advanced mode via the botton on the right of the Project Assistant.  Then select the Create Panorma tab, where you should be able to select the output file type and set the optimum size before creating the panorama.

Nope, same game in the advanced mode. Greyed out and unpressable...

That's odd!  Can you save the project file (from the File menu) and upload just the .pts file somewhere where we can access it.  Use www.sendspace.com if necessary and post a link here, but don't attach the file to a post here.

i just send you the pts file via wetransfer.com

but the file itself is tiny. the whole folder with all the pics is 6gb - so hard to send  :-)

Thanks.  It works fine here (on a Windows 10 system using PTGui 10.0.15).  The create button is greyed out on the Project Assistant, but not on the Advanced Create Panorama tab.

Well, that's similar to the display on my Windows PC, but that's not wrong anyway.  It's the greyed out create button on the Create Panorama tab in Advanced mode that I cannot reproduce.
