In Stitcher HDR, you can render as a cubic, spheric, cylindric and snapshot to create
an HDR image or preview the project as a JPG, TIFF, or PNG image.
NOTE You cannot create or publish a movie in an HDR project.
Check the Use GPU for rendering option to use the Graphical Processor Unit to
generate the rendered image.
Check the
Use Current Expo
to render using the exposure that is displayed in the
Stitching Window
. For more information about changing the exposure value, see
“Changing the exposure” on page 64
NOTE If you’re rendering a 32-bit, tone-mapped HDR image, uncheck the Use GPU for
rendering option and uncheck the Use current expo option.
If you want to use the viewport defined by the Render Area definition, check Use
defined viewport
.
To increase or decrease the resolution of the rendered image, move the sliding bar to
the right or the left, or enter a value in the
Width
text field. The slider lets you choose
a maximum width of 10,000. To increase the width up to 1,000,000, type the value in
the text field.
For details on width and height constraints, see “Understanding width and height value
constraints” on page 165.
To maximize the render resolution without degrading the result, select a percentage
in the
Best Size Ratio list to instruct Stitcher to calculate the appropriate ratio for a
1:1 render. The default render size is 100%, which signifies an optimal render quality.
The ratio is calculated according to the image size and the size of the stitching
window, taking into account the area surrounding the rendered image.
