- [Voiceover] Okay we're back after the batch process
has finished.
And now in my same source folder,
I have still my original TIFF images
that went into creating these panoramas
and also, as I scroll down, I have new files created.
The batch has created the images that I asked for.
So if we start from here,
we have four bracketed panoramas now.
Those were our blend planes that we're used to seeing now
in this tutorial.
The next one is just the dot PTS file.
That's the source file for PTGui.
And then finally for each one
we have our exposure fused image.
So PTGui did the fusion
and I can hit my spacebar in Bridge just to get
a preview of what that looks like.
This is the place where I would look for any problems,
make sure that I like generally how
the panorama's gone together.
I can also view it interactively if want to
to get a better preview.
And we'll talk more about how you
interactively on a computer in a little bit.
So that series happens again for bracketed panoramas.
The project file.
And my fused panorama.
As I keep scrolling down, each one looks good
until the very last image.
And this is very good for this demonstration
because it shows how I can quickly get an idea
if I have a problem or not
and I may need to go into that project
and do some individual setup.
In other words, in this case it look like one of the images
from the bracketed set wasn't used,
and a different one here.
But overall, it did go together.
So it looks like there's some tweaks to be done
on this particular panorama,
but I still have a preview so I have an idea
whether I want to use it and how it generally looks.
Now let's create a batch using a different organization.
So we're looking at here is just six blue folders,
but each one of them contains the source images
to make up one bracketed panorama.
I can open one of the source folders and you see that
we have our familiar bracketed shots.
Also from another location around San Francisco.
Let's go to PTGui and use the batch builder to do that.
But first, let's make a small change
to our template project that we have open.
This time I won't use the saved template
because I want to make a small change
in the project settings so that all of the resulting
panoramic images save to one folder.
To do that, all I need to do is go down here
to the file naming section in the panorama section.
We'll leave the names the same,
but we'll say save in folder.
And we'll name the folder,
and we'll just name it batch results.
Click open there.
Okay, that's the only change I want to make here,
so let's go ahead and use tools,
batch builder to build our second batch.
And again, starting down here we'll use
the current project as a template
because we have made changes to the details there.
And we'll save our batch list again.
We'll call this one batch list separate folders.
And generate new project.
This time one panorama per folder.
Nice and simple.
We're not asked how many images make up each panorama
because it's going to apply all of them in that folder.
And again, we don't need the image file extension
just like before.
But we do need to identify where our folders are.
And I call that SF Locationsbatch.
Click open and okay.
Not the same, but very similar look.
It's telling us which images it thinks goes together
into these panoramas.
And it should get it right
because we've organized them all into one folder.
So if any of them are wrong, it's going to be my fault.
But I'll take a look really quickly
just to illustrate and try to make sure
that I didn't miss something.
But it looks like all of these belong
to the cable car turnaround.
This one was another shot from a different perspective
in the same cable car turnaround.
But here we would be looking for situations such as
did I take extra bracketed shots,
did I miss any,
sometimes I'll take the same positions over and over
depending on people moving through the image,
if I want people in it,
if I don't want people in it, etcetera.
So this would be a place where I could check
did I remove the ones I wanted to remove
and include the ones I wanted to include.
But I think we're doing well here
so I'm going to generate the projects.
And again, we'll go ahead and send it to the batch stitcher.
Now the batch stitcher again is going to do the hard work
and I'll be back after these projects are finished.
The results that we get here we can, of course,
work on individually.
We can post-process the panoramas
which PTGui already has fused.
We can open bracketed panoramas in Photomatix Pro
and work on them there.
Creating HDR using exposure fusion, post-processing,
or I can take the blend planes that I've created
in my two batches,
and I can then batch process those blend planes
using batch processing in PTGui Pro.
And later in this course,
we're going to use the batch processing power
of Photomatix Pro to batch process our blend planes
for these panoramas.
With my batch process finished,
I can look in my folder going back to Bride here,
under my batch results folder.
And I see indeed that I have bracketed panoramas
and I have exposure fused panoramas.
So I can take a quick look,
and although the perspective is strange when we're looking
at these rectangulars,
I can still identify any potential problems
and generally see if I like the panorama,
if I think it's worth working on moreso.
For instance here, it looks like I have a little bit
of a horizon problem.
This one generally doesn't look as exciting
as I thought it might when I was shooting it.
It looks a little flat, but we'll see.
It's a really good way to look through
generally proofing the images.
We'll remove the exposure fused versions
and we'll batch process these in Photomatix Pro.
That way we can take advantage of the special tools
in Photomatix Pro.
