Better Panaramic Stitching - Microsoft Research Image Composite Editor (ICE)

Fast, easy, free. This might replace my old Autostitch... If your pictures are well aligned, and not too distorted by the lens (eg not shot at wide angle) then it seems better, just drag and drop. : ) Thanks Leopold.


But if the pictures are rotated out of line, autostitch is superior since it breaks every picture into dozens of sub-pictures that it rotates into correct alignment as required. Since I shoot my panoramas handheld, autostitch is still the winner for me.

Microsoft Research Image Composite Editor (ICE):

"Ability to publish, view, and share panoramas on the Photosynth web site
Support for 'structured panoramas' — panoramas consisting of hundreds of photos taken in a rectangular grid of rows and columns (usually by a robotic device like the GigaPan tripod heads)
No image size limitation — stitch gigapixel panoramas"
