Thank you! Yeah, the 16mm didn't quite get both so I had to do the stitched pano thing. PTGui rocks! However it can be time consuming compared to the photoshop photo merge feature. I don't bother using it for real estate 360 degree shots, if they don't line up perfectly, oh well. But when you know you may be producing a big print one day, getting that horizon smooth without any choppyness is important. So taking the time in PTGui is worth it. They offer a fully functioning trial version, it just watermarks the image.

One of these days...I'll have to get together my collection of unstitchable panos and see if it's worth my time and money. ;)
BTW, I never found PS to be very good at panos - have you tried Microsoft ICE (Image Composite Editor)? It's free and has always done a better job.
I have not tried ICE, I'll have to check it out. I like PS because I can work on the RAW photos and then stitch the RAW photos together, and it's fast. With PTGui, the one thing I don't like about it is that I have to save the edited RAW photos as tiffs then stitch them. Not that big of a deal really.
Well, I don't know if ICE can work with RAWs, but it often works when other software doesn't.
Thanks, I'll check it out.
