I did a review of panorama software awhile back. I will look into and try this open source software. Hugin is very forgiving, all of my shots are handheld, put my thumb under the nodal point of the lens, then rotate and snap. Some older panos on my (abandoned) Flickr, all stitched with Hugin over the years: Hugin also has a batch processor, I can queue up all of my projects and let it stitch them over night. Hugin can also stitch HDR (with 16-bit TIFF).Īnother one from the same trip, with 7 shots. I could have done with JPGs, but I found exporting as 8-bit TIFF retained better gradients for the final JPG and avoid lossy JPG compression. Here's one I've just stitched an hour ago from my last trip, 9 TIF files exported from RAF in darktable (also free/open-source). ), click "Align", review, and click "Create Panorama". Hugin, free/open-source, is specialized in panorama stitching, and it automates most of the process, just drag-drop the images in (JPG, TIFF.

I also have the old Lightroom 6 that I could use. So I am wondering if there is any better software to do that (preferably free software). Sometimes PE works great to align everything, but sometimes it superimposes two elements even it was seems to be a simple stitch of two pictures. I have been using Photoshop Elements 13 for stitching photos taken in a series when I don't have a wide angle lens with me, for example if a building is too wide for the lens I am using, I will take two or three pictures to stitch in post processing.
