Free Panorama Software

[barich16cmu]

I recently went to Dallas and had a great room for taking a pano of the whole city. I want to stitch it together but the canon software that came with my S2 dont do it for me. It shows too many stitch points. I like autostitch but when overlapping photos, it seems like it puts both pictures at 50% transparency and blurs them together. It does get it lined up well though. My question is, what other good free software is out there that doesnt leave a watermark on your photo? Thanks in advance for all the help I know Ill receive

PM me if you would like me to do it for you.

Thanks for the offer but I really want to learn how to do it myself. I just got photoshop which I will eventually end up using once I get experienced enough. I was just looking for a better free program until I get more used to PS.

Hi Barich,

I normally use Hugin (http://hugin.sourceforge.net/)with autopano-sift (http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/%7Enowozin/autopano-sift/) to create the points. When I say normally, I mean three times. It seems fairly easy to use though, at least for easy panoramas.

Coincidentally, I came across a link today to a flash based panorama stitcher and viewer, in the vein of the quick time VR panorama viewer. It's called Clevr (http://www.clevr.com/). I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

When you've finished it, let us have a look!

Im a little confused with the Hugin. What file do I actually open? I downloaded the zip file and unzipped it and then I got a folder with a ton of files and Im not really sure what one to use.

I figured it out but I didnt think it produced that good of results. Thanks for the help though.
