Any free alternatives to PTgui for stitching? I downloaded PTgui, and it works quite well, but I can't cough up $75 for the software right now, especially given how rarely I do panoramas.

Thanks for any advice.

I haven't used it personally, but here's an email my dad sent me several months back for some software he used:

Also, here is some terrific panorama software. Thought you would like to try it. It works on those problem photos that have little contrast, and will also work on any combination of photos, not just horizontally arranged. Web site is interesting. Can up the resolution in the Edit-Options, and select the photos by highlighting in File-Open. Always creates the file pano.jpg, and will overwrite the previous one. Not meant as a commercial product as they are trying to get someone interested in buying it and incorporating in something else.

Hope that helps!

I use autostitch and it works great. I have a stitcher that comes with photoshop that sucks ass and never gets anything right. Autostitch does it faster and better and is free.

Here's one I did from this weekend:

The Chesapeake Bay Bridge.

the utility which came bundled w/ my Canon works pretty well. much better than the Sierra Imaging one i'd had before.

Wow. Worked great and VERY QUICKLY. Here is the Dart Glacier in New Zealand, outside of Glenorchy (close to queenstown) on the south island. Pretty Pretty.

Wow! That's a hell of a lot better than some dumb bridge in Maryland!

Hint: If autostitch says that the "demo has expired", it means they have updated it and you'll need to download a new version. They update it pretty regularly and I've had to reload it 2 or 3 times already.

Have (more) fun with it!
