64 bit Operating Systems

I want to use Stitcher Unlimited on my new computer running running Windows 7 - 64 bit. This is to exploit the ability to work with RAM larger than 3 G Bytes. Looking at the system requirements for the latest product, I see only 32 bit OS support. Has anyone tried to run it on a 64 bit OS and did it work? More importantly, did it actually use RAM beyond the 32 bit OS limitation? Some of my panoramas are very large and need to offload some of the field to disk which is very slow.

I tried that. It would barely start and in starting up backed off the acceleration features of my video card. Other programs such as PhotoShop also do this and then return to the settings they found. In this case I had to download the video cards driver again. For now I've gone to using PTGui but I miss the ability to control the initial alignment and to align the first two photos alone for an accurate fix on lens aberrations. In any case. I never use the blending features of any stitcher but keep each shot as an independent layer and do my own blending in PhotoShop.

XP-32 was where I came from and it worked there but was hobbled by the 3GB RAM limit. It would be nice to hear from Autodesk, officially, if they ever will support a 64 bit OS. The stated system requirements still call for XP-32. In fact, I upgraded from Win2000 on my older machine specifically to meet the OS requirements of Stitcher Unlimited.

the question I would have to help you out is to make sure that your software has sp1 installed if it doesn't that might be the problem. sp1 allows the software to run on system that have more than 4gb of memory so download it from here if you don't have it http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=12542841&linkID=12010784

Who would have thought that the current trial download would not have SP1? I downloaded it and it worked the same as it previously did on my old machine and appears to utilize more than 3GB of RAM. So far I have been unable on either machine to get PhotoShop to take Stitcher's PSB output. It may be too large a file. My workaround so far has been to have Stitcher output independent TIFF files for each photo that I can merge in Photoshop. But that's a lot of work I can do without. Perhaps it is trying to render and output a full 360 x 180 rendering when the photos only take about 240 x 90.
