Autostitch

I've been wanting to write about Autostitch for sometime. When it comes to creating a panorama, this is my go-to app. I haven't tried any other panorama apps, so I'm sure there are other apps to create pano's, but since this one has always worked for me, I've just stuck with it.With the native camera I'll shoot a series of vertical images, with at least a 25% overlap. If you use the Shoot Panorama option, the app recommends a 30% overlap. Ideally you want to have elements in the frame that the app will be able to find and merge.I normally head straight to the Select Photos button, which allows you to open the camera roll. As you can see I had many photos to choose from. For my final image, I selected 7 images. As you select them it adds them to the smaller window. Once they're all loaded, tap on the Stitch button and let the app do the work.Render, render, render! Depending on how many files you have, this could take a minute or so.Once it's rendered, you're pano may look something like the image below on the right. Now you can save this as is (which I sometimes do), or just click the crop icon. If you choose to crop, you can move the corners/sides/top/bottom to crop as you like.Now before you save, tap on the Settings button in the top right corner to make sure you have the High Res output selected. So far I've left the "Best" for blending selected and been happy with the results.The image on the right shows a library of panos I've created, including their date/time info.And here's what 7 Vertical photos of Elliott Bay in Seattle can turn into! (Output file size of 3944x1984 pixels).Do you have a fave app for creating Panoramas? If so, what is it and what do you like about it? I'd love to hear about it!~ kate
