One thing I wish this screen had is the ability to pick a grid shot top to bottom, then back up the next column, down the next, and so on, for those times when I shoot a panorama freehand, such as this 2.2 gigapixel image of the Taj Mahal (shot without a tripod and head because they are restricted).Īfter that screen, custom overlap or forcing a 360 degree view can be selected. The next screen allows for changing of the panorama shooting direction. With a straightforward shot like this, there is little else for me to do, but let me show you what the other screens do, if you are curious. This is also why, with careful execution, freehand panoramas can be imported. The nice thing about this method is there is no need to import a control file that explains the grid to the software. For instance, when I select the 98 images from my demonstration shot from Maui, Hawaii at the Ali’i Kula Lavender Farms, AutoPano knows this shot was 7 rows and 14 columns. If your shot went off without a hitch and you have a nice grid of images, AutoPano should know this. The first step in the wizard is to pick the device that was used, in this case we select Gigapan. With all your panorama files in one location, it is time to use the stitching wizard in AutoPano Giga. That makes finding the files all the easier.


I have found it handy to shoot panoramas, especially large ones, on a separate memory card reserved just for panoramas. The nice thing about AutpoPano Giga is it will understand your RAW files no problem, so there is no need to convert (but you can if you are impatient and want smaller file sizes). Importīringing images into your computer is no different than your normal shooting method. Shooting with the Gigapan EPIC Pro is explained in the previously mentioned post. Utilizing AutoPano Giga to produce stunning panoramas shot with Gigapan’s heads (mine were shot with the EPIC Pro) is fairly simple. Plus, it can not handle freehand panoramas

I noted in that post that Gigapan’s software was in its first stages and was quite basic and while the software has been upgrade over the intervening two years, it’s still not as robust as Kolor’s AutoPano Giga. One ability AutoPano Giga excels at is the ability to take images and information from a number of automated shooting heads, such as Kolor’s own PanoGear or even other brands, such as the GigaPan EPIC Pro, which I reviewed for DPS two years ago.

AutoPano Giga has been my panorama product of choice after starting with huggin, a free option that does quite well it its own right. To conclude, Autopano Pro is a complex yet user-friendly application developed to provide you with the ability of creating panoramic images from your favorite holiday photos, requiring minimal input from you.I know, it’s a long title but I want to show how easy it can be to assemble panoramas with either a Gigapan head or by shooting freehand, gridded panoramas. Moreover, Autopano Pro features a 'Batch Renderer' that allows you to add several projects and generate panoramic photos in just a few clicks, exporting the results within moments. You can also introduce an 'Automatic Horizon', or alter the 'Color Anchor'. You can 'Rotate' the photo, adjust its 'Yaw', 'Pitch' and 'Roll', 'Crop' it or set its 'Vanishing Point'. When you have made your decision, you can save the image or further edit it.

Additionally, it displays a series of details about it, such as the number of used files, the total length and width in pixels, and more.

Autopano Pro will then provide you with several options to choose from, by combining and matching keypoints from the source files to create the panoramic photo. You can just select the containing directory and the utility will scan it and retrieve the images in one or more groups of photos, which could generate a useable result.Īfterward, you can choose the group you prefer and click on the 'Detect' button to determine what the resulting picture could look like. However, you will need to explore its various functions and tools before you can produce the results you would like.Īutopano Pro spares you from having to manually input the images you wish to use in creating your panoramic picture. The program is fairly simple to understand and handle, even for the more inexperienced, enabling you to launch it immediately after installation and begin working with it. Autopano Pro is a comprehensive and reliable software solution whose main purpose is to help you create panoramic images from multiple sources, saving you valuable time and effort in the process, by automatically performing most of the operation.
