Review: AutopanoPro

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)

Pros:

• 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 panoraic raw image is over 130MB!
