I'm struggling with this. Not because it isn't a beautiful scene but because the perspective is wrong--I can unwrap it in my head but visually, it doesn't look "right".
What do you think you'll try as an alternative to CS3 for stitching?
I composed this one just for you Ian
Just pivoted the camera around one spot about 180 degrees, only because
the color in the clouds was everywhere so I just wanted it all
I will go looking for some stitching software that I used to use on a PC. It appears CS4 is stitching other elements OK, that is most things with no flat horizons? I also have discovered that the new focus stacking feature in CS4 does not work at all on the several compositions I have attempted.
For now I will be doing most work manually

"8 rows"
"a eight scene, 32 image Photomatix pano"
"3 exposures for each row"
Not to be overly nosy, but any way I slice it, those numbers aren't adding up.
When you say "row", do you actually mean "column"? By way of definition, think of a chess board. Each pawn gets its own column, but they all start on the same row. So was this a single row of 8 columns (shot in portrait mode I assume)? If so, that works out to be 24 images, if you took three exposures per column. In fact, 32 isn't divisible by 3 at all, so I'm all messed up here. Help me out, will ya? :giggle
Oh btw, check out Autostitch if you haven't already. It's amazing, and free.

The color. Oh the color. The color really makes that work. Doesn't it?
