My new place have a nice little balcony (the first time I actually stayed in one that has) and I took a series of 3 shots and stitch them up using the ArcSoft Panorama Maker 3 software that comes with my Panasonic Lumix TZ3 camera. The result is pretty good considering that when I first took the shots, I did not meant to stitch them together. But when I was reviewing the photos, I notice that the 3 photos have some overlap, so I just ‘throw’ them into the software and the result pretty impressive.
Here are the raw shot (in fact I took the middle photo first before I decide to take the left and right photos):
Using the software, here is the result (click on the photo for a larger view):
There you have it. The colors of the sky could be better, but hey, for a no brainer, I thought it is pretty good. And the software is free too (comes with my camera).
There is another very good free product too. It’s done by a university and the product is call AutoStitch. It’s a free demo that works and is pretty impressive, such that you can take a few layers of photos and the program will be able to stitch them up. Check their website for details. My previous download expired but when I go to their website and download again, I can use it again. The product has been licensed in some commercial products (probably with more functions, I have not check those out) but this demo does the job quite well too. Happy stitching!
