I've begun putting a tour together but on every second image of the output images I'm getting a black line in the image, as seen in the attached image?

The lines not in the original images so it's either the software or my settings need tweaking - any pointers in the right direction would be useful.

Thanks,

Martyn

Thanks for posting the panorama image. The black line is a 1 pixel wide indication that you might have adjust the image. Example. Original image was 6000 pixels wide. After making some adjustments... it is now 5999 pixels wide. While displaying your 360° panorama there now is a 1 pixel wide vertical black line.

Possible solution: Take the panorama into Photoshop and resize horizontally the image back to 6000 pixels wide leaving the original height unchanged. Like 6000 x 3000 pixel dimensions.

Permanent solution: Your original image WAS 6000 x 3000. You might have cube face converted into 6 cube face tiles so you could patch the nadir and zenith tiles # 5 and 6. Then you probably converted the corrected tiles back into an equi-rectangle image of 6000 x 3000 but you inadvertently forgot to change the output file dimensions from 5999 back to 6000.

The 5999 error comes into play by some math calculations like:
6000 /(Pi) or 3.1415 = 1909.91564539 when converting panorama to cube face tiles.
1909.91564539 x 3.1415 = 5999.999999999999 When converting cube face tiles back to panorama

Just a thought on the matter
