Unified color temperature throughout a panorama can be tricky if there are multiple light sources around, since the camera might apply different color corrections for different images that then get stitched together into a single one. The panocam therefore calculates its own color temperature correction based on the first image in the panorama, and then applies these settings consistently to each individual image. The color temperature bias settings give you an opportunity to influence the result of that correction. You can adjust different biases for day and night, and the panocam will attempt to smoothly interpolate from one into the other at dawn or dusk.

Panorama stitching instruction

The required instruction file for the panorama stitching is generated automatically. This is done with the first batch of images captured by the camera.

Whenever there is a change of the image ( e.g. change of image size) or the camera position it is required to re-generate the stitching instructions. This can be done in the event log, by expanding the latest PanoramaStitchingEvent (which is marked as an error because of a image size configuration change) and clicking on the yellow Regenerate stitching button.

Create a customized panorama stitching instruction (optional)

Besides the automatic panorama project generation, there is an option to upload a customized instruction file.

PanoCam uses the Hugin toolchain to stitch individual images together into one final panorama. To do so properly, it needs a project file that defines the properties and operations to be applied, so you'll have to create one and then upload it. However, there's a bit of a catch here: To create a Hugin project, you need to have the individual images the panorama consists of. Thankfully, the yellow portal provides you with an easy access to those images.

...

When doing that process, the product you're really interested in is not the stitched image, but the .pto file that hugin will ask you to save before creating it. Once you have that, you can use the file upload dialog in the panorama configuration on the yellow portal to upload it, and it will be applied to future panoramas taken by this camera. You may replace this project at any time you like if you come up with a configuration you like better.Important: As long as you do not upload a stitching project, the stitching will always fail. This is normal behaviour.
