Autostitch
This is a beta version and it is somewhat limited but is still pretty impressive. I tried this out and it works very well. It is made to work automatically but it does have some setting adjustments that you can read about in the text file. It defaults to 10% of the image size so you need to key in the % or image size each time. Be careful with the percentage, I tried to merge 9 images at 100% and just about fried my computer :) Best of all it is free.

| I've found the tools that work the best are Panotools with the Hugin frontend and Enblend. They aren't very intuitive, but once you learn to use them, you'll get perfect results every time. See the panoramas I've created out of hand-held shots here. |

I always use Photostitch. It came with my Canon camera, reads the EXIF for best setup and saves the image at 100% of the original image size. 360 degree shots with about 15 images have not been a problem so far.
Here's an example.

Can you post a link please? I find those .mov panoramas cool, never thought of producing them myself.

Panavue isn't freeware but it blends images much better than other software. You don't get any tell-tale colour shifts between stitched panels.

A vote for PTGui //www.ptgui.com
I tried a whole lot of PanoTools front-ends and this was by far the best.
Main reason for using PanoTools over 90% of the other stitching programs like Panorama Factory et al, was that it supports perspective tilts of the camera (i.e., you point it up slightly and shoot a horizontal series of images) Most of the other products just can't handle that at all. |

I visited their site and the program looks really complicated to handle. Don't you think?

| I know the traditional way of shooting a panoramic is to shoot it horizontally and panning, but what if you shoot in vertically and pan left to right. Wouldn't that make the stitched photo "taller"? Just wondering. |

It would, but it depends on your camera and your stitch software. My camera "helps" with panoramas by overlaying a slightly opaque version of the last photo to the left or right, and as far as I know, it cant do it to the top or bottom of the camera.
If you are manually working out the panorama, then yes you could get a taller panorama... but isnt the point to have a nice long landscape photo? |

Enblend is a command-line utility that blends images perfectly. I use it with Panotools and the Hugin frontend.
Hugin - //hugin.sourceforge.net
Enblend - //enblend.sourceforge.net
See my post above for a link to panoramas I made with this software.

| I've never seen anything work better with less effort than Panorama Factory. There's an older, freeware version around, but it's also woth the price of admission for the newer ones! |

I tried this software (trial version) along with several others. It definitely works better than anything I have used so far. |

Just downloaded a copy of Panorama Factory and stiched this together from eleven individual shots.
Its the view from Tunstall Hill looking of the city of Sunderland.
Be warned the file is about 300k.
(Edit)
That didn't work out quite how I wanted it to, but never mind you get the idea.
I think the program works very well, even using the wizard with the default setings.
