Can't really think about uploading and selling something like that - even if I could get model releases, i didn't take any of the pics except my own :lol:
it actually didn't take very long. I used irfanview - way faster than PS for something like that - batch all the photos to the same size and add borders (by changing the canvas size and colour in the options when you set up the batch) and in a few seconds irfanview gives you the finished pics. Then all you do is create horizontal panos (albeit one line at a time) and then create a vertical pano from all the horizontal strips. Maybe at most half hour.
All those PS users wouldn't think of using a little program like IV I guess, but it's way quicker for something simple like this.
Not just me - if people don't participate in a project like this, you don't get very far with it. I consider it to have been a very successful group effort - everyone gets credit for participation. Tom too - he was very kind to host it for us. My personal website wouldn't be able to stand that much bandwidth without being shut down
