Thank all of you for your comments on my posts.
For my standard real estate tours I display at 568x400. I stitch the images at 4000x2000 and save as bmp.
I size down to 2500 x 1250 then save as jpeg at 65% and see what the file size is. It is usually around 600 to 700 kb. Sometimes is is less but this depends on the image itself.
I then try 2300 x 1150 or so and use 70% to 60 % to get a target file size of less than 600 kb.
When you stitch at 2000x1000 panoweaver is actually sizing the image for you when it stitches. I prefer to size the image my self so that I can control what happens to the image myself
I can also have a acrhived 4000x 2000 image that I can come to later and resize for QTVR or even make real small for email stuff etc.
displaying at 450 x 350 is on the larger side of things so I would use at least a 3000x1500 image to start with.
I think its better to start with all the quality you can. Unless you are shooting for full screen QTVR then stitching at 4000x2000 will do for nearly all situations.
