Installation of the Bridge and/or Lightroom pluginsįirst, you need to make sure that you installed the plugins when you installed Autopano Giga. It is then very easy to select the images you're going to stitch together from these two programs and to open them directly in Autopano Giga. Since I only work in RAW format, I have to use Camera Raw or the 'Development' tab in Lightroom to develop my files. Personally, I have a preference for Photoshop hence Bridge, Adobe's file explorer, but whatever.

No concerns about software sluggishness here.įrom the newly stitched panorama we can move on to make some edits – and this is where we see many of the interesting features of Autopano Giga 4.When you buy Autopano's Giga version, you have the possibility to install plugins which enable you to make the selection of the images you'll then be stitching directly in Autopano. It took the software around one minute to detect and create a stitched panorama from this group, ready for editing. Our largest panorama group contained 72 images, which is a lot of data. Neturalhazer deals with inevitable haze in the atmosphere that reduces the contrast in detail further away from the camera. There are further Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom Plugins available too.Īlso, the group settings for Detection, Optimization, Panorama and Render can be adjusted, though the auto settings seem fine as they are.

Automatic detection of panoramas in a folder menu.Compatible with virtually all Raw image formats.Support for Adobe Lens Profiles or external plugins for Lightroom/Bridge.Panorama groups can contain between two and several thousand images.We have experienced how quick and effective the software is in creating high-quality panoramas. Our variety of panoramas are sequences made up of 10 images through to more than 70 images. Each panorama ‘group’ can hold as little as two images or as many as several thousand, making for potentially very high-resolution panoramas.

The software works with images from any camera, including Raw files. You may need to shoot more images in these sequences.Īll this said, Autopano Giga 4 can work wonders with poorly captured image sequences. Whether pictures are taken handheld with a smartphone or compact camera or even using a professional DSLR mounted to a panoramic head, Autopano Giga 4 can handle the image sequence. Using a telephoto focal length can reduce lens distortions and helps to bring objects closer, though it will, of course, reduce the amount of the scene contained in the picture.

Autopano Giga 4 can handle a lot of images in one panorama, so there's no need for caution – just take your time and shoot methodically in order to avoid extra post processing work.įor use with Autopano Giga 4, we have made linear panoramas (horizontal shifts only) and multi-angle panoramas (with several images in a vertical movement, in addition to the horizontal shift). You’ll also have more scope for capturing sky and ground areas, or be able to zoom in more and experience less lens distortion.Įnsure a good overlap of up to 20-30% from one image to the next. When covering the same space it will require twice as many portrait format images as landscape format images, so you’ll get twice the resolution. To capture a panorama, it’s best to shoot images in portrait format.
