Very weird! It looks as if the exposure was different for each of the photos, but then again, it wouldn't be possible considering the angle of the lines. Have you tried another photo stitching software? I think Microsoft has a beta (free to download and use) program that solely does this: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/groups/ivm/ice/

Interesting, did you use manual exposure and manual focusing, both essential for a panorama?
Best regards, John

Hi FatherTed,
try dropping the JPEGs on to Microsoft ICE. It automatically adjusts the exposures between shots.... and it's FREE.....
Microsoft ICE
Or alternatively Autopano Pro
Examples of its capabilities

If I remember correctly, 5 for the top one and 3 for the bottom, All taken with DA*16-50. The software will also recognise the orientation of your camera and if the pano is up and down like a lighthouse or the standard left to right but even a grid pattern too.

Yes I had exactly the same effect with CS2 but when I changed to CS3 everything was fine.

Manual focus, but Av exposure mode.Interesting, did you use manual exposure and manual focusing, both essential for a panorama?
I did think that, maybe, I should have used manual exposure when I saw this effect.
Getting there! Thanks to you guys

Yes, using Av the exposure may well change every time you recompose.

Thanks John. I'll remember that for next time.
Although, I have downloaded MS ICE and that has worked a treat. A bit of procesing and I'll put it up for C&C
How would I go about getting a panorama printed?

I'm fairly happy with the outcome, except, there are dark bands diagonally across it.It is to do with the stitching, but they dont appear follow the lines where each image is stitched to the next.
Could you guys take a look and advise me please?
I'm using Photoshop CS2 and the automatic panorama function within that.
