http://community.research.microsoft.com/forums/112.aspxThis forum is to discuss bugs, issues, and suggestions for the Microsoft Image Composite Editor program. Image Composite Editor is an advanced panoramic image stitcher. You shoot a set of overlapping photographs of a scene from a single location, and Image Composite Editor creates a high-resolution panorama incorporating all your images at full resolution.enCommunityServer 2008.5 SP1 (Build: 31106.3070)http://community.research.microsoft.com/forums/thread/3005.aspxThu, 16 Oct 2008 23:05:54 GMTeaca9afb-5ccf-4c08-b3f3-369c7e6f1a06:3005mattu0http://community.research.microsoft.com/forums/thread/3005.aspxhttp://community.research.microsoft.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=112&PostID=3005<p>The issue wasn&#39;t LZW vs. uncompressed, it was that there were some metadata tags that we don&#39;t typically see and were being a bit too picky about opening the file.&nbsp;&nbsp;We can fix that, but it sounds like you&#39;re now seeing a new issue :(</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>http://community.research.microsoft.com/forums/thread/3004.aspxThu, 16 Oct 2008 22:02:03 GMTeaca9afb-5ccf-4c08-b3f3-369c7e6f1a06:3004squeamish0http://community.research.microsoft.com/forums/thread/3004.aspxhttp://community.research.microsoft.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=112&PostID=3004<p>&nbsp;Hmm, they were uncompressed.
