Looks interesting. I'm using Panorama Maker at the moment but I'm
interested in something with more capabilities. Does Autopano work
with 16-bit-color images? (The web site says it will *output*
16-bit,
but that's not necessarily the same thing <g>)
How does it deal with large areas of plain blue sky? I find Panorama
Maker does a very poor job at this.
It can take 16 bit TIFFs as input. It claims even to support raw files
from many cameras, but I haven't really looked into that.
If you have several tiles with nothing but blue sky, it will be
confused. However, if you have shots with a few clouds or something
else for it to latch onto, I'm surprised about how little it demands
before it gets things right. It also have a function for colour
correction that will even out gradients in the sky. Much to my
surprise, I must say, it worked on the two unassembled panos of my own
that I could try it on.
