Mick,
What is your operating system?
How much RAM you have?
What is the image resolution?

Windows 7 with 8 Gig of Ram,
Images are 12407 x 4578 @ 300ppi. I may have to blend the individual photo's inn SNS HDR prior to merging in Autopano Pro; seems to be the only way around this. That said I have used these exact files in Nik Softwares HDR Efex Pro without a problem however I prefer the HDR effect from SNS-HDR.

Hi Mick,

While I don't have a direct solution for your memory issue, I do have an alternative workflow that I routinely use.

On my panos I prefer to tonemap the individual tiles with SNS-HDR (that way you can e.g. even change the color balance per tile), and then stitch and blend those tiles. The only drawback is that you need to adjust the brightness of the opposite ends of a 360x160 immersive pano, but you can do that by duplicating the images of one side on the other side, so the blending engine of the stitcher does it automatically for you.

Cheers,
Bart

Thanks Bart,

Seems to be the only solution at this time.

Thanks, Mick

I found the cause of the error. This will be fixed in version 1.4.3
