Review: AutopanoPro

May 22, 2008 in music, photos, tech by Seb

What: Autopano (registered version @ 99 euro)

Verdict: totally awesome.

Pros:
– Very fast, reliable stitching of images together
– Excellent colour and exposure correction, even if you don’t lock your exposures
– Supports HDR imaging! Create panoramas out of raw format files and then use tone mapping software like Qtpfsgui
– Excellent barrel distortion compensation on wide angled shots
– Qt4! (and cross platform)

Cons:
– It’s not free software :(
– Expensive
– User interface could use some work

Example:
Panorama created out of 8 individual raw images, then tone-mapped with Qtpfsgui. I can’t get a larger version because Qtpfsgui runs out of memory – the resultant panoramic raw image is over 130MB!

    Interesting. How can it be compared to Hugin ?

    Thanks for posting about that program! :)
    It works perfectly. Never thought that such good results are possible especially concerning waves.
