PhotoImpact X3 "Cool 360"

[darbs]

Hi,
Yes, I am using Photoimpact X3
Found the PI X3 program contains a little better imaging processes than the PI 12
Please Note! the included "X3 Cool 360" is a very poor cousin/imitation of the full Cool 360 that is with PI 10 and PI 12

Have spent about 3 hours trying to load the photo images in the X3 Cool 360. I cannot get them to show into the X3 cool 360 programming!
My images are the same file type and a lot smaller then the images you can download from the Cool 360 tutorial
Yes! their downloaded do images do work OK???
Searched the "Ulead X3 Help", the Internet and the Ulead Web Page for a detailed Tutorial and found nothing as at this time?

I have now installed "Cool 360" that came with the PhotoImpact 10 and have updated same with the 3 update patches from Ulead updates. Please also Note! Found you have to install the PI 12 before it allows you to install the "PI 12 Cool 360"?

I have no problem using any of my images in the PI 10 Cool 360?

The main problem I feel is X3 requirement "Converting the images to "Objects" ??? as I found the Cool 360 button only become black when by using the "X3" to export" an image as an object. They instruct you to use "Stitch" of which I tried?
Only way I could accomplish was to have one image opened in the PI X3 Cool 360, No way can I get to show any other addition images?

So at the moment will continue to use the PI 10 Cool 360 programming!

Any suggestions??

Regards

I guess I don't understand your process...

I opened PIx3, then brought in 3 images to create a panorama. From the Photo menu, selected Cool 360, which opened having my 3 images in the lower tray. From there I proceeded to create the panorama.

For my example, in the Stitch Options I set;
Layout Style : Horizontal
Projection Type : Perspective
Render Quality : Gradual

Example of Panorama created with Cool 360 in PIx3:


This is not a perfect image, since it was the only 3 images that I had available to use at the time..

Thanks vidoman for your reply

I feel my problem relates to the "Images" I am using are "Objects"
Somewhere along the track they have been made into Objects ???

Can I concert them into the suitable image format The Images I am using are, Jpeg, RGB True Color [24 bit], 72 pixels, 190KB. 6 inch X 2 inch

As Ulead Help = Quotes!
"You can only join images that share the same data type and are either Grayscale or True Color.
COOL 360 only works with base images; objects cannot be stitched. To stitch an object, it must first be merged onto the base image" .

Any suggestions
