I wanted to make a panorama from some photos I took and found a handy little tool called: AutoStitch.

This software will automatically make a panorama from the photos you give it. No need to put them in order or line them up, just point it at the photos and wait.

It is just a demo so there are a few limitations. The main one is that it can only use JPG.

To get the best results:

• When you first run AutoStitch, go to the edit, options menu and set the output size to scaled 100% (top left), otherwise you will end up with a small image. Also set the JPG Quality to 100 (bottom right)
• When taking photos, you want them to all be at the same exposure. This means that don’t mix light photos in with dark photos if you can avoid it.
• A tripod will help you to take nice non blurry shots.
• The output file is created in the same directory as your source files and is called panno.jpg

Fun fact: ILM (the guys who?? do all the cool effects), have licensed the software to use. :-)
