Comment It is very good, but there appear to be alignment issues. If you draw a line centred on God's throne (which has a conveniently triangular back) all the way down the picture, it becomes very out-of-centre at the bottom. Also the golden horizontal bars on the middle flat portion of the ceiling are not always perpendicular to this line. The area around Mary holding baby Jesus is particularly wonky. The centre of the crop is also not centred on the nave. Lastly, if you look at very top edge of the image, there is what appears to be a point where the stone meets in the middle, and this is very slightly to the right of the centre of the wooden ceiling (about half a plank of wood). This parallax shift might indicate the camera was some way left of the middle, assuming the ceiling/roof are co-centred. These issues aren't enough for me to oppose, and may partly be a natural feature of the old building, but I wonder if some of the discrepancy is stitching alignment that could be adjusted in the stitching software. Would it be possible to set a vertical control point on the centre of the ceiling, or would that confuse the software as the ceiling is very much not a vertical in reality. Alternatively, perhaps a series of horizontal control points would shift things a little. Some sort of through-the-lens laser sight / distance measuring would be handy here. -- 12:19, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- I can see that the middle of the arch doesn't quite align with the middle of the artwork on the ceiling at the top. Whether that's because I was off-centre or the ceiling is off centre, again I can't be sure. I can also see the lean/wonkiness around Mary holding baby Jesus, but I think it's the building. I re-stitched everything from scratch and I don't think there's a control point problem as it reported almost no errors in alignment. Given that, and the fact that the horizontal lines are horizontal at the top and the bottom but not in the middle, I can only conclude that it's not a perspective/stitching issue, and is simply a quirk of the building itself. I did upload the re-processed image over the top of the old one though, as I managed to squeeze a bit more width out of the top section. Diliff (talk) 22:17, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
- Support The reprocessed one is definitely improved, thanks. -- Colin (talk) 20:49, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

- Why is cut at top ? I would suggest you plain projection. This kind doesn't work for long ceilings. --Mile (talk) 08:33, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
- Do you mean the crop of the sides at the top? It's mostly because with panoramic stitching, it's difficult to visualise the projection and the boundaries of the final image. This screen capture shows why it happened. No significant part of the ceiling is missing but I admit the crop is quite tight at the top - it wasn't intended but cannot be helped now. As for the projection, I don't know what you mean. Could you give me an example? Diliff (talk) 16:21, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
- I see. I will try to set up mine anytime soon, if possible. --Mile (talk) 08:56, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
