This post will center on the insanely simple task of creating a panorama from pictures shot with a Canon SD630 point and shoot camera. It’s easy to use, has a lot of room for manual modification and produces excellent panoramic images. Robust beyond my simple means, this program should be in every digital photographers virtual toolkit. I’m very pleased to report this is not the case with hugin. I’m all for using free software when available but at times it can be lacking compared to commercial counterparts. While I have typically used commercial ($$$) software, a number of readers pointed out the virtues of a freeware program called hugin. Great product for a great price.Recently I posted the article 8 Guidelines To Taking Panoramic Photos With Any Camera followed by 20 Great Stitched Panorama Examples, both of which garnered a fair amount of “But what do you use to create them?” questions. Results was exactly what I was hoping to achieve. The software allowed me to quickly double process for two different output exposure images that I then processed using HDR processing tools. It even smoothed out the exposure variation, which is critical to getting the desired results easily without a lot of additional post processing. It processed the images on my first attempt. I then found Panorama Stitcher and figured the price was right and it claimed to be able to merge my 26 images for a 360 view. Great tool, but too expensive for my purposes. My attempts to post process a rectangular image from the 26 separate photos has not been up to my desired results. The drone captures 26 raw images and automatically stitches them into a circular image that appear on your iphone DJI app. I’ve been searching for a while for an affordable app that can handle the DJI Mavic Air 2 360 panoramas. Import in all image formats supported by Mac OS X, including all formats supported by Apple RAW. Manual exposure correction and crop controls. Hardware accelerated preview allows to see all changes in real time. Straighten and rotate panorama as needed with projection editor. Just drag and drop images to start stitching. Equirectangular panoramas are navigable on Facebook, Street View or any Photosphere-compatible viewer. EXIF tags from source files are merged to output. Output image is in the same color space as source images. Rectilinear and equirectangular projections for rendering. Automatic exposure levelling and lens shading correction.

Inconsistencies between images in intersections are minimized.

Support for both spherical (rotated camera) and planar (scanner, microscope, maps etc.) stitching.

Perfect for making high resolution images for large prints. Automatic panorama stitching application for Mac.
