Originally posted by RAART Since acquisition by GoPro the best software for stitching is shutdown since last month. If you have chance to get somehow Kolor Autopano it will handle the files even in raw you just need a good PC. I will suggest to export them in JPEG and then stitch... much faster turnaround time. If you like you can PM me and send me links with raw files and I can try to stitch with Kolor Autopano and send you the image back in tiff or psd or raw. Let me know.
EDIT: While I typed OP has posted that he resolved the issue... :-)
After reading and re-reading the posts to my query, i realize that I really haven't "tried just about every method." Commenters have mentioned some that were unknown to me.
A 2-G panorama must be awesome. How was it stitched?
Thanks to RAART for the kind offer, but I think I know what to do, now.
BTW, although I probably shouldn't mention this in Pentax forums, Sony's sweep panorama function makes good panoramas.
