Also, note there is an older free version you can download which is very similar, but doesn't do some of the adjustments the newer PF does. I personally decided to buy, but I have used both:

Thanks, Neil. I did see that you could buy the CD for an additional $12 or something. I was just wondering how it would work if I downloaded the software and my computer died (which could be possible shortly!). Would I then just have to re-download PF and use the same reg. number?

Thanks again!

I've been playing with Panavue, which is OK, but there is one major failing. It cannot save a multi-layer image, which really limits what you can fix post-stitch.
I also have PanoTools, but have not had a chance to work with it much.


have you tried using the software provided by canon??? it came with my camera but I have never used it. if you want a copy let me know.

As I recall, you can download the software before you buy it. So there's no risk. Then you pay and they give you a registration number that you enter in a dialog and you are set. So there's no risk of losing your money to an incomplete download.

I really want to get this setup, pretty close to taking the plunge, not huge dollars, just not sure how often ill actually use it.

GigaPan

Has anyone here used it?

As long as it's here ... I've been using the free (Windows) demo version of AutoStitch for quite a while ... you can see some examples in this gallery.

i've been using CS4 to do panos, and considering what i'm working with, i'm pretty happy

lotsa power lines

lotta noise and camera shake

put my tripod on the roof of my car to get this...

I used this program

//hugin.sourceforge.net/

To do this shot

//www.smugmug.com/gallery/16689881_dnVJ6N#1258559980_8ctQ4Zz-X2-LB

Honestly this was my first try at a pano and stitching but I'm happy with the way it came out. Hugin was extremely easy to use, however I think its only available on Mac, but I'm not positive...
04/21/2011 03:42:33 PM · #34
I'm pretty sure Hugin is available for Windows as well -- I think I got it a while ago (maybe for HDR?) but haven't had to install it ...

People might also want to refer to the Freebie Imaging Software thread.

Oakland/Berkeley/San Francisco as seen from the Lawrence Hall of Science (Berkeley Hills). Change the end to .tif if you want a higher res/less lossy version.

Tried stitching this together by hand, but couldn't for the lift of me try to align twinkling lights. Used Panorama Factory (which has been greatly improved in the recent years-and is available for mac/pc) and it managed everything perfect on auto settings. That gigapixel thing seems cool, and relatively cheap for what it does, but I'd have a hard time buying it, there's no 'real world' use, other than posting on the internets.

Nice! I haven't been too successful at getting night exposures, but I take a lot of shots of the same scene, though usually from a little further down Grizzly Peak to the south ...

Hi,

Check out Gigapan this was stiched using Photoshop CS5.
I took it with my 50D on a panosaurus head and it was 3 rows of 32 images, stiched with almost no errors.

I use Hugin. Not the easiest program to work with, but with a bit of experimentation you'll find almost unlimited options. They have 15 or so stitching methods to choose from, some giving vastly different results, but some being very subtle, giving something a little different every time. I've had it rescue some pretty lousy panos for me - misaligned, exposure issues, etc. It's definitely worth a look.

ROFL, I just looked back to the beginning of this thread to see when it was started, and lo and behold, I started it! I had no idea!
