For lazy people...

I like to use Autostitch to create my panoramas..
http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~mbrown/autostitch/autostitch.html
It automatically figures out how the pictures go together and does a pretty good job IMHO.

Re: For lazy people...

Hmmm... I' ll test autostitch with one of my "difficult" panoramas which couldn' t be handled by most of the tools I' ve tested...
Thanks for the link to the demo version! Cheers Lukas

Make that 2 for Autostitch

Yeah, autostitch is the bomb....I have used a fair number of pano apps and it is my fav. But it is not the best for endless tweaking.

Re: Make that 2 for Autostitch

I don' t know autostitch, but b_betts has posted a link to a demo version. I' ll try this and maybe I' ll post additions here or a new article if there are too many differences...

Another good software

I have used PixMaker PRO, and I think It´s really completed.

Some of the panoramas of this web site were made with this software:

http://www.picoseuropa.net/panoram/panoram.php

PixMaker PRO it´s extremelly easy to use and has the best results of all the programs I´ve tested.
It has a lot of different options, one of the most interesting is an applet java you can add to your web site.

The bad think, it´s not free.

Good write up

Thanks for the info! It's really cool being able to set up your own pano's.
Just one Question:
After I get all my control points in and it looks good, I go to set up the alignment lines, and no matter how many I put in, the pano never levels out. It looks good as far as the edges, but its still angled in the preview screen. Is there something that I'm missing?

Thanks

Re: Good write up

Hmmm... Try to insert a horizontal and/or vertical alignment line in every 2nd image. Reoptimize your panorama and don' t bother about the preview (sometimes the preview hang and didn' t show the real panorama). Try a "preview stitch" with reduced resolution and look at it. If everything is fine try the stitch with full/max resolution...

If this doesn' t work try http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~nowozin/autopano-sift to create control points...
