Hi Thomas,

Thanks for adding the cylindrical pano feature to the new beta.
Unfortunately, I came across a seam break problem when creating cylindrical panos. The break starts at the ends of the jpeg strip.

Sure.

It appears from the pano that the image was cut short a few pixels and then stitched together. I double checked to see if the strip actually had a break in it but it looks fine.

Thank you Thomas for looking into this.

I have noticed the seam breaks are happening with some of the Equirectangular panos I processed today. I'm not sure if this bug is related to the cylindrical bug you are working on.

I'm wondering if it has something to do with the droplets. It seems to work fine if I start a new project. When I create a droplet and use it for another pano I get this result. It looks like the input settings are not automatically changing the type of pano when a droplet is created.

I am also getting a seam break. My workflow is using horizontal cross with no changes to the default sizes. Once I finished retouching I change the Cube size from approx. 1770px to 1264 for output as a swf file. Usually shows in the sky section. Have posted two examples which show in the sky I thought it must be the way I'm producing them?

It's the way your are producing them. If you do not resize the cross but instead load the full retouched cross into Pano2VR + set the final size in the Flash dialog with the "tile size" parameter the seams should disappear.
