Line 720:

:I just loaded the images in [[hugin (software)|hugin]] and set some control points. As it turns out, the biggest difficulty was convincing hugin not to do any perspective corrections, since these are scanned pages and not photos. The solution was to select "Custom" in the optimizer and to check ''only'' "roll", "x shift" and "y shift" for the second image and "view" for both. I then manually adjusted the roll and shifts for the first image to be -0.5 times those of the second image and reran the optimizer, so that the resulting image was nicely centered. I then exported a high-resolution TIFF with smart blending and converted it to PNG with the [[GIMP]]. Of course, usual panorama tips, such as discarding badly matched control points after the first optimizer run, also apply. —[[User:Ilmari Karonen|Ilmari Karonen]] <small>([[User talk:Ilmari Karonen|talk]])</small> 11:43, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

== {{did}} Bristol - 1873 == <!--werdnabot-archive-->

Line 804:

::::Actually, I just checked and the issue is even more complicated than that, with measurements from different parts of the overlapping area giving almost identical widths for both images, but with the heights varying by up to 5% ''in either direction'' between the two images. I'd suspect the cause to be either not-quite-perfect scanner calibration or simply the paper slipping slightly as it was scanned. Anyway, it's not a major issue, just an unexpected twist in the process. —[[User:Ilmari Karonen|Ilmari Karonen]] <small>([[User talk:Ilmari Karonen|talk]])</small> 22:30, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

== {{did}} Ages Ago == <!--werdnabot-archive-->

Line 834:

'''Graphist opinion:''' Done. This actually turned out better than I'd hoped. I thought the wrinkle was going to be just about impossible to deal with using the software I had, given the nonlinear distortion of the part above and to the left of it, but then I got the idea of cutting the image into two pieces along the wrinkle, with some overlap to the bottom left of it, and stitching those back together in hugin with barrel distortion correction applied to the upper part. That was an ugly hack, but it seems to have worked. I had to play with resynthesizer quite a bit to correct the resulting gaps along the wrinkle line, so I went ahead and corrected some of those white lines too. I could've perhaps done even more retouching, but I didn't want to alter the original too much. —[[User:Ilmari Karonen|Ilmari Karonen]] <small>([[User talk:Ilmari Karonen|talk]])</small> 00:51, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

::I've uploaded a denoised, non-blurred version of the photo to Commons.
