16 Bit images compression.

Hi, I have crashing problems while trying to create panoramas on panoweaver.Guess the problem could be on images formats.I have  questions:

1-On 16 Bit images, what compression should I use? None, LZW, ZIP?

2-Also what pixel order and what Byte order.

3-Do you suggest any post-production software to increase sharpness of this photos?

4-I understand Unsharp mask is a great way for sharpening images, but also that stiching and resizeing decrease sharpness. So, as Im new on this, is there a way to control or fix this loose of quiality on panoweaver?

Thanks

Hi,

There's no need to compress. Take a fullframe image which is commonly used in PW for example:

Couse I read that is not wise to use RAW images directly on PW.The main issue is that im loosing too much image quality while stichin and also some crashes during the process.

Hi,

Which version of Panowever are you using?

Actually we have optimized PW9 a lot which runs almost without any crshing problem.

Please keep your software update and have a try.
