Connecting the ends and making the QTVR.
Now that everything in my panoramas has been blended I need to connect the ends so that when I place my image into 'Stitcher' - a software used to make the QTVR - it would be seamless as you looked through my panoramas.
So firstly, in Photoshop, I flattened my PSD and re-saved it so that I have a copy to fall back on.





The next part of the process is to make the QTVR in 'Stitcher'. Now Stitcher is a very easy piece of software to use albeit quite a buggy piece software since it closes down unexpectedly (though it's not really unexpected after a while) after each QTVR made.

So first of all I went to 'Tools' then as you can see 'Panorama Conversion...'. What this does is brings up a new window, shown below, that lets you name your file, select the output format and output location of the file. Note that it says 'Cubic QTVR' but when clicking on the drop down list I chose 'Cylindrical QTVR'.

After finishing the output and expecting the unexpected 'Force Quit', I opened up my QTVR and it looks like this. I have now given it a couple of whirls and it all seems to be quite seamless apart from the banding that was mentioned in a previous post.
