I don’t use crop at that stage – I tend to have the panorama processed in Hugin and do the cropping at a later stage.Īlthough there is a way to automatically add control points (ie the points that are the same on the two pictures you want to stitch together), I find it easier to do by hand.
HUGIN PANORAMA STITCHER HOW TO
It is possible to have more detailed information about the lens used (distortion, vignetting) either generated at the optimize step or on a “file per lens” basis (which I don’t know how to use). It basically gets information about the focal length and lens typed used for the pictures – Hugin loads what it needs from the EXIF information (by defaults) and does a good job out of it. This part you usually don’t want to touch by hand. The Anchor this image for position / exposure allows to chose the current image as reference for position / exposure – specially useful if you are stitching 3 (or more) images: you can pick one in the middle for position and an average exposed one for exposition. The image orientation will be processed automatically at the optimize step and I find it easier (and quicker) to add control points myself than have it done automatically. In there, you can add as many images as you need and order them (move up / down). I had a few bad experiences with it (especially when choosing control points that takes for ever and the end result was way off), so I skip that and do it by hand, like a real man… So the second tab is “Images”, where you chose the images you want to stitch together: The proof is in the pudding.īy default, Hugin offers a simplified assistant view, that guides you step by step into doing a panorama.
So as always, I am experimenting until I find settings that give me a good result and sharing my experience – even if I don’t understand all that goes behind the scene. There is a lot of high flying maths going on there, much more than I can understand or explain. For general panoramic photography, PanoTools wiki offers a wealth of useful information.īefore diving into Hugin, let’s just say that stitching pictures together is a very complex task: besides fitting images together, you need to take into account lenses defaults (distortion and vignetting), questions of projection and blending the different images.
HUGIN PANORAMA STITCHER MAC OS
In Linux, Hugin Panorama Photo Stitcher ( web, wiki) is the tool that allows you to do just that (it works with Windows and Mac OS too, by the way). Now you have 2, 3 or more images that should fit together, you need to actually do the stitching.
