And my scans don't have typical lens, focus, and dof distortions.
I could use a tool to do this with my hundreds of multi-page scans that I deal with on many projects, but it actually has to work. In the time it took to fail with the two shot photo, I could have stitched it in photoshop, with only the central distortion requiring a correction. This has got a very long way to go for anything I could actually use. The 2x2 multipage scan turned into something resembling a doily (or mirrored cylinder art), arranged 1x4.Īnd the very simple 2 image photo with 1/3 overlap, it couldn't even put together, just saying it couldn't find a panorama. The 2x2 photo of a steppe-villatge was hilarious, as it put 3 of the shots exactly on top of each other and fish-eyed them, and put the lower-right image immediately to the right of the stack. I gave it a 1x2 and 2x2 photographic and a 1x3 and 2x2 multipage scan. On top of that, the interface is gawd-awful.
I tossed 4 projects which I am currently working on at it, and the process, in all the different set-ups I gave it, failed miserably.
So yes it's costly, and indeed in the beginning I myself thought with so many contenders five times cheaper there was just no reason even to try it. Then I gave AutoPano a try, on the demo version.Įverything worked perfectly, including in these old cases where you won't ever go back to that location and hadn't the tripod and failed it all.Īutopano is a lifesaver, and I must say some of its extra features ("little planet" views…) are very worth too.
AUTOPANO PRO V.1.4.2 SERIES
Then, I pushed it with less-than-perfect series of photos (among which various taken handheld, with different focals…) and of course it failed, also creating ghosts in difficult cases (say, a beach, waves not being at the same places between two shots). Indeed, some months ago I spent quite a time trying everything around, but within a lower price range: I converged to PanoEdit and bought it in spite of its lock to apple store. Incredibly efficient while still simple to use.
