<hr />
<div>1. The whole thing is easier as it looks like at first!<br />
<br />
2. PTEditor (pteditor.jar) is to find in the panorama tools (I use version 2.6b1)<br />
<br />
3. Make a shortcut to the desktop and be aware of spaces in the root.<br />
<br />
4. Doubleclick the icon and it should look like this:<br />
<br />
[[Image:pte_tutorial_001.jpg]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5. Under Menue '''''File''''' click to '''''open''''' panorama and choose the desired equirectangular panorama (possible formats : tiff, jpg, png, bmp)<br />
<br />
[[Image:pte_tutorial_002.jpg]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
6. When the file is opened, navigate with mouse or keyboard arrows to the region who needs retouching. (The navigation is similar to PTViewer)<br />
<br />
Ctrl + leftmouseclick=> zoom in<br />
<br />
Shift + leftmouseclick => zoom out<br />
<br />
<br />
7.When you have zoomed in enough (really important, because this way the extractet file isn't that big in size), choose '''''Extract Partial View''''' under menue '''''Edit'''''.<br />
<br />
[[Image:pte_tutorial_003.jpg]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
8. A Dialog opens and let you save tis partial view. Default setting is '''''Image.tif'''''<br />
(I always let this name as is and save the newer views over it, only to get rid of to much<br />
trash on my computer)<br />
<br />
[[Image:pte_tutorial_004.jpg]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
9. When save, open this file in a image editor software like photoshop, gimp and so on and retouch it.<br />
<br />
The final file should be flattened to background after retouching. Save and close the partial panorama file.<br />
<br />
<br />
10. The retouched '''''Image.tif''''' can now be re-inserted. Go back to PTEditor window and choose<br />
'''''Insert saved View''''' under menue '''''Edit'''''.The retouched part (Image.tif) will be inserted in a few seconds.<br />
<br />
[[Image:pte_tutorial_005.jpg]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
11. Don't forget to save the modified panorama:<br />
<br />
[[Image:pte_tutorial_006.jpg]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
12. Repeat the steps number 7 to 10 as much as you like and the whole panoroama is retouched.<br />
<br />
I think this is one of the easiest ways to retouch a panorama, also in zenith and nadir regions. No remapping is needed that causes quality (8 bit workflow).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Additional functions: ==<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A. By pressing the key '''''i''''', you get used version on the bottom border:<br />
<br />
[[Image:pte_tutorial_007.jpg]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
B. By pressing the key '''''v'''''; you get the actual position where you navigated to:<br />
<br />
[[Image:pte_tutorial_008.jpg]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This is really usefull, when you have to add e special starting position in [[PanoCube]].<br />
<br />
'''Attention:''' Sometimes you have to hit the key twice for showing this dialog on the<br />
bottom border.<br />
<br />
The used version of pano12.dll in this workflow is ''''''2.7.0.6''''''<br />
<br />
<br />

== How to allocate enough RAM for PTEditor ==<br />
<br />
With big sized panoramas PTEditor tends to do nothing because of too few allocatet RAM.<br />
To avoid this just read the following tutorial:<br />
