Trust me on this. I just finished squaring just over 900 scans of negative pages for my archives. My eye is really tweaked for sub-degree tilts right now. ;-) With all the angles in the shot it needs to be tweaked by eye, not by measurement. You want it to look level, not necessarily be level. It's a tough one, for sure. :-) Dick >Philippe, >I couldn't resist - why do you post shots like this so early in the >morning? ;-) >Anyway, I looked at it from all angles, agreed, disagreed, put a >fine grid over it, played around with it and took 10 minutes to >tweak a couple of things.. >I think everything is horizontal or vertical now, but,unfortunately, >I lost a bit of the lower part by correcting the perspective. >I also applied a tiny touch of manual distortion correction.(BTW >what lens was it?, I may have a lens profile here somewhere to get >an accurate correction) > >http://gallery.leica-users.org/New-Old-Pictures/pano Your shot >http://gallery.leica-users.org/New-Old-Pictures/pano_edited_1 >whether it's straight I'll leave to your judgment > >I also removed a slight colour cast (but that's maybe on my laptop >TFT-screen) I couldn't be bothered firing up the big machine in the >office, so if the colours are wrong blame Fujitsu-Siemens and >Adobe-Gamma. >cheers >Douglas > >Philippe Orlent wrote: > >>Op 19-nov-05, om 01:09 heeft Richard S.
