Panorama software

So if I understand you correctly you're saying that Photoshops stitching is not doing a very good job?

I am saying that the wider the angle you use, the harder it gets in PS to do decent stitching. One workaround here is to use a lot of overlap between the images when you use ultra wide lenses. but then of course you need more images per panorama, which again increases the stitching effort.


I would not recommend stitching with PS if the images were taken with a 12mm lens on crop cameras, or 16mm on full frame. I would not say it is always impossible though.

It of course pretty much depends on what you stitch. if it is a landscape, it might be less of a problem, if it is architecture, it might be a nightmare.

Think I'll check out your recommendation - PanoramaStudio - then

i am sure there is other good software .... but for me this is one of the easy and quick to use ones.

not sure if there is a trial version, so you could just see if it is your kind of software

be prepared to buy more memory for your computer though .. panorama stitching needs alot if you do full-res work

Just tried AutoPano and it works like a charm! Only thing is it put them in a different order than I would like but that's probably just a question of moving the pics around a bit. I'm gonna test a few more to see what fits my workflow best. Thanks, guys!

Oh, a question about Panoramastudio:

Should I use optical or spherical when typing in parameters?
(I found a trial version of the application)
