I am looking for stich marks but can't find any, this means you and the program did very good on this one.This is a field I have not explored yet. I like it very much.

NO SUBJECT

The images are stitched with the layered output option. After PTGUI finishes there are visible stitch marks, especially in the sky. I remove these by applying a gradient to masks.
When that is not sufficient I apply gaussian blurs to the sky, first with a large radius (200), then smaller (80, 20, 6) until the sky is perfectly smooth. Then I apply some gaussian noise to the blurred areas, to avoid having abrupt texture borders in the sky.
