Panorama

There are many stitching tools out there. But many of them are either complicated to handle ore produce unusable or bad results. I tried many of them. The absolute best I found is Autopano Pro from Kolor.

It has many very useful features like:

  • Automatic Panorama detection and alignment
  • Color Correction
  • HDR (High Dynamic Range) Feature
  • Batch rendering

any many more. On their homepage are many very nice how-to movies and examples to get an idea what all can be done with autopano.

The new version 1.4 works on MacOS, Linux and Windows. Which makes it usable everywhere.

Autopano is not really cheap, but definitely worth the money.

The Panorama above was stitched out of 16 Images made with a Canon 40D without a tripod.
