error message when creating an area hotspot

[John Blake]

I'm following the tutorials to learn how to link panoramas with hot spots.
When I click on the enable area hotspots check box to create my first hot spot, I get the error message "maximum images size exceeded" and I can't go any farther.
What do I need to change?

Thanks in advance

Hi John
In the settings you can choose to ignore this, but only if you have plenty of RAM.
Pano2VR makes copies of your input image to show in the Hotspot editor etc, this all requires RAM.

However a good workaround if you have limited RAM is to do the following:

Convert Input image to Cubes.
In Pano2VR settings, 'File' menu (Pano2VR - Preferences on a Mac) Uncheck Edit cube faces as horizontal cross.

Then in the Area Hotspot Editor you can add hotspots to individual cube faces, so not having load the complete image.
