fh1805 Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I took the shots to make this panorama this morning. But when I Preview it, I see a noticeable jerk at the completion of the transition from slide 1 to slide 2 and again at the completion of the transition from slide 2 to slide 3.Am I the only one to see it?regards,PeterP.S. Had to use MediaFire as the file, SnowPano.zip, is 2.47MB in size. The sequence is just three slides: Black, Pano, Black built at 16:9 AR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yachtsman1 Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Hi PeterLooks ok on my 17" laptop screen, pity about the power lines. Did you tick the mipmapping box?Regards EricYachtsman1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only assume that the Graphics Card memory is still loaded with image data and thus the resource demand is lower the second time around.Did you tick the mipmapping box?Eric,My first reaction to your comment was: Why would I want to? I associate mip-mapping as a mechanism for reducing or eliminating Moire flicker in a pan or zoom. That wasn't what I was seeing. I was seeing a noticeable "jerk" or "stutter" rather than a persistent flicker. But then I thought: What harm can it do? So I ticked it and the problem has been eliminated on my system! Marvellous!regards,Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fh1805 Posted January 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 It was smooth as silk for meJim,See my reply to Ken and Eric above.Now, not wishing to re-open old scar tissue but... when you, I and Ed were trying to resolve those problems with your club's projector, did we try turning mip-mapping on? I'm not suggesting it's a "magic bullet" but it seems it can work wonders in certain situations. Perhaps worth a try for you both?regards,Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fh1805 Posted January 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 No problems on my screen - and the powerlines seem fine too.Den,Thanks. I'm not sure whether Eric's comment about the lines was to do with apparent shimmer in them or more to do with them being visually intrusive in the landscape. My own view on this latter aspect is that they are there and so I have to work with them. I'm prepared to bet that they helped Photoshop do the panorama merge!regards,Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedom Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Considering my graphic card (Nvidia Geforce 9600 GS with latest driver) and my processor (Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q9300 @ 2.5Ghz), I am very surprised but it is jerky for me between slide #1 and #2...

smithrg Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Hi Peter, the time to worry about power lines is when they are down on the ground, and our heat and computers aren't working.Best regards, GaylandDen,Thanks.

Ken Cox Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Further to my last post, http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=11286&view=findpost&p=72749ran tests again after an overnight fresh boot -- nothing other than normal system going on the results -- same results -- so the mipmap boxes being checked or the maxmem being on produce the same reults on my systemIMHO maxmem is the easiest ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
