p.1 #2 · p.1 #2 · Autopano Giga vs PTGui for landscape panos | |
I think Autopano is easier to use and produces a better image imo. The control points editing are by far superior to control between images than ptgui. Matching up specific points or comparing a selected area between images is very powerful with autopano, ptgui as far as I could figure is point by point. Autopano also calculates the quality of stitch points and you delete as necessary to imporve stitching. Masking could go both ways, ptgui uses a paint method vs autopano is a little vague with just stamping points on various areas. Masking is tough to compare, anything with moving images like people in a crowd will be a challenge. Cropping on ptgui is stupid, autopano wins here with easily selecting the image and setting rotation values. The autopano interface is much more refined, ptgui is just littered with windows and a bit clumsy. Both have features to controlling exposure, blending, the one thing I've learned is never crop images or level images prior to importing for better stitching.
Someone is going to say microsoft ICE, I think it has some creative functions but no where near the stitching features of autopano or ptgui. But it's free so who cares. I'm somewhat a novice with ptgui it's not too difficult to figure out it's quirks, while I'ved used autopano used for 2+ years. Quality of images will play a huge role and overlap with either. I rarely use a tripod although I would going beyond 200mm.
Autopano, 14 images, 1dx, 24-70ii, iso 12800, 1/1000, duh wasn't paying attention
Last week at the ESPN Wide World of Sports in Orlando, Worlds Cheer competition. Lady in bottom left turned her head, masking saved me.
Same files with ptgui, bit more distorted for some reason so I'm still trying to figure it out why.
