Weird name – good at what it does.
I went to searching the internet to see if there was an open source program out that stitches photographs together and I found Hugin. I tried Hugin out after being frustrated with the way Photoshop handles stitching photographs together. In the program there’s a lot of different options available to use and the final product is very nice. My Seattle Panorama is proof of the capabilities of the program.
I was standing atop the space needle and made my way around one side of it resting the camera on the safety cable to take the photographs. That’s right, no tripod, only handheld. I had tried several times to get the results I wanted using Photoshop but there was just no way. Hugin got it right the first time.
