Ali Ali Watters Post Count: 2735 Msg: #1 114 days ago, April 3rd 2008 | ![]() I bumped into Autostitch an hour or so ago - and it's one handy piece of software for creating panoramas - and the easiest I've yet to use; 1: Select the group of photos that should be capable of being joined. 2: The software runs and produces a pano.jpg in the directory of the photos. Try keeping the initial creation settings small eg. 1400 at 75% - and review the result. Then edit the options - set for whatever level you like - I choose 5000 width at 90% quality and let it run. I then cropped and sharpened - and you can see the results above. Find more information and the download at: AutoStitch.net - great work!

Far superior to the standard package that came with my camera. Currently re-doing all my panoramas :) | Incidentally is there a way to post photos on the forum if they're just on my hard drive. (ie not in a blog or on another website). I kinda want to show off my cool Sydney Harbour bridge shot!!! Do stitches work better when there are more photos in a given width or does it not matter so long as they overlap?

Well - nope - you'll have to upload somehow or where - best suggestion is to just make a blog entry for it - and upload them...

Does anyone have any tips on a good photo-stitching program for Mac? (The only photo software I have on my MacBook is iPhoto; I don't even have Photoshop.)

It's done a really good job so far with all of my panos...seams are nearly impossible to detect & auto-adjustments of exposure/color/etc. are spot on. Way better than the previous package I had been using. | NGD Chris Ledger Post Count: 4 Msg: #10 64 days ago, May 23rd 2008 | I've downloaded AUTOSTITCH and it's an incredibly easy and simple program to use. The results are better than COREL and ADOBE (both of which I have). The merging of the photos seems immeasurably more accurate than those top-of-the-range panoramas. | All my family and friends have been put on to AUTOSTITCH. If you don't have it, get it!! The only thing to watch out for is set the quality settings under the options to 75% as opposed to the default 25%. It will take longer to weave the photos together but the detail at 75% (compared with 25%) is excellent. Chris.
