Joost, The feature to stitch 6 cube faces is very welcome and it works well.  It's nice to see the alpha blending mode set automatically, but why is the optimum size set to 141.4% rather than 100%?

Is it? I've just checked, equirect -> cube faces -> equirect is giving
me the original size.

Before you load the cube faces, is the output size (in the Create
Panorama tab) set to 100%?

No, it's not.  I just followed your instructions to add the images and go straight to Create Panorama.  I saw that the blend mode had been automatically changed from multiblend to alpha and expected the output size also to be set to 100% automatically.  Why my settings were defaulting to 141.4% I've no idea.  Presumably from some testing in the dim and distant past. I have reset my default with File->Make default. But maybe there is a case for the output size to be set to 100% automatically for this particular function anyway. It's not especially important.

Hi all !

I just noticed that, finally, one can revert from cubefaces to equirect :-D !

So I downloaded the V. 11.9 and tried it, but.... couldn't find HOW to do it ! The "Convert... window is just like before ! What am I doing wrong ?

[JPS]

Silly me... I hadn't read the text in the V.11.9 add !

"At last! A straightforward method for assembling cube faces into an equirectangular image. Just start a new project, add the 6 cube face images and go straight to Create Panorama. The file names should match the Cube Face Names set in the Convert to QTVR/Cubic window. PTGui will use these names to figure out which of the 6 images is which cube face."

Now it works !

Thanks Joost ! That helps and avoid me to have to open Pano2VR to convert back the cubes into the equirect !

Have a great week-end, all...
