TESTING COMPLETE !

Re-sized my tour main window and scene window from 970 x 700 to 670 x 400. You can see much improvement. Now I just need to find the right balance as 670 x 400 is a bit smaller than what I would like.

I would also like to add here I believe this is where "sharing images" will come into play for full screen. Or could I use the same settings I have using the same folder but lower the image quality of main tour settings while keeping the full screen at %100?

Either way it will involve some homework to determine the right balance for both. I'm guessing going full screen is going to require a much larger target size than that of 1.6mb.

So for now check out the results of simply resizing the tour.

I was looking at a website the other day, sorry I can't find it again right now, but it showed a comparison between a 4000x2000 image compressed to 80% and a 5000x2500 compressed by 60% (which ended up being about 1.2 MB) and the more compressed larger image looked better.  You might want to test this and see what you end up with.  Try stitching at 6000x3000 and then downsize to 5000x2500 then save for web using about a 40 setting and see how it looks.  Just a thought.

Thanks Rob for the info, I'll check out during my next test.

Took the exterior shots last night...? Had a difficult time trying to expose the plane properly while also getting the sunset.

Any way take a look and let me know what you guys think.

I like exterior 1 with adjustments. Are you shooting brackets and using Photomatix or just PS?

If you know the "secret" then everyday is a good day!

Thanks Jerry,
