From: Neil Jones on 2 May 2010 06:28 Hi, I am looking for easy to use software to create Panoramic photos. I bought AutoStitch from Serif and am not overly impressed with the stitching capabilities. It is an ok tool. Is there any other software that can create Panoramic photos? Thank you in advance for any help. NJ

Never heard of this AS from Serif,. However, there is a free version of Autosticth that has been around for years created by two PhD students at UBCo. I'ved used it fro yeaars myself. http://cvlab.epfl.ch/~brown/autostitch/autostitch.html

Windows only, of course. 32bit and 64bit versions exist.

Prebuilt binaries are available for Windows and Mac. Here's a link to an image I stitched together from 9 handheld shots with a Pentax K20D, using the 40/2.8 Ltd. The stitching was done entirely automatically, just accepting the defaults suggested by the wizard (though there are a LOT of options if you want to get in to tweaking!). Some USM & local contrast boost applied in GIMP after stitching. (Warning, 8.6MB 10232 x 3178 pixel jpeg!) http://www.argaty.org.uk/images/LwrMiltonPano1A-I_bib_a_cright_.jpg |
