November 23rd.  Ominous landscape...

D750, 50/1.8G.  Five horizontal frames are stitched in Photomerge of CC2017.
A beauty Akira !     

Did you notice positive changes in CC2017?

Thanks, John!

I guess that the stitching quality of Photomerge is improving little by little.

The problem I've been encountering since the update to CC2017 is that the JPEG files are unacceptably soft when exported in the reduced pixel size for web sharing.  My latest autumn color image with full of leaves suffers from the problem.  It looks OK when viewed at the size displayed in the thread, but it is all too soft or even a bit out-focused when viewed in the originally posted size.  I set the quality to the maximum and tried both "bicubic" and "bicubic sharper", but the results are the same.

I may start a thread regarding this problem.  I wonder if anyone else is encountering the same problem?

Good idea to start a thread.  I use Raws to stitch (it takes a bit longer), and have never encountered these problems.  Advantage of Raw is the processing afterwards (if necessary)

Just in the very last moment, after resizing, I translate it to a jpg.

I scrutinized my jpeg file in question.  I found that the latest version of "Photo" app bundled in Windows 10 had gotten a new UI and its default window shows the image in the size larger than 100% when enlarged, which was the reason for the soft look of the file.

Sorry for your confusion, John, and curse at the "nice" UI design of MS!  Oh, well.

love the #146 surreal endless plain in false color. that is something else. would the PC24mm allow for sharpnerss till the front?

Frank, thats the choice to make where to focus, after trying a few options i went for this image to present in the daily, indeed a pc lens has better dof control.

November 24th 2016  a bit of sun, but cold wind from the North...

Tilburg has a special collection of 'electricity' buildings  (Or Transformers buildings), built between 1920 and 1950 in different architecture and style. They are all different. Some of them are a national monument, others have been 'enriched' with artworks.  Sometimes it's parts as a building in a street, and sometimes prominent on a square, like here, close to a public school....
