Autopano Pro
New ideas

First misconception – photos must be level for perfect stitching – FALSE!

Just shoot your photos as you want! One row, two rows, skewed, vertical, horizontal, sloping, macros, with telephoto lens, hand-held, all situations are acceptable. Autopano Pro imposes only one constraint in terms of your photos – the camera must rotate around its nodal point, the basic principle of panoramic photography. Autopano Pro is extremely tolerant of this rule and very often it is not necessary to use a panorama head to achieve perfect results.

Second misconception – You have to use manual exposure mode - FALSE!

A true pioneer in advanced color correction, Autopano Pro is the only software that can create the final panoramic photo, no matter what exposure mode is used. In fact, it is even better to use automatic mode, as each picture will be correctly exposed, thus using the camera's full potential. During the stitching process, Autopano Pro will exploit this advantage to increase the overall panorama dynamic range and so produce tip-top quality results.

Third misconception – you can only photograph fixed scenes – FALSE!

Even if objects have moved from one photo to another, Autopano Pro will analyze the scene and stitch the photos perfectly. It will automatically detect any differences in a group of pictures and make the best selections to ensure seamless stitching. Someone has moved between two shots? Automatically corrected! The end of a vehicle is on one picture but not on the next? Automatically corrected!
What is more, you can export layered PSDs to Adobe Photoshop so that you can easily carry out your own montage.


Bulk photos in a folder for automatic panorama detection

Fourth misconception – stitching panoramas is complex - FALSE!

Autopano Pro has never been so easy. Just one click on the 'detect panorama' in a folder, that's all. The software systematically retrieves from the picture folder the images belonging to one or more panoramic images and automatically stitches them. You can analyze your memory card with just one click.

Last misconception – panorama stitching is hardly ever used – FALSE!

Autopano Pro is much more than a panorama stitching software. It has been tried and tested in many fields : Photography, Cinema, Architecture, Cartography, Astronomy, Research, Real Estate...
In addition, in HDR mode, you will produce results that are not possible with a camera alone. If you have two photos of a subject, one under-exposed and the other over-exposed, Autopano Pro will combine them and use the best of each picture. It stitches pictures spatially and dynamically, and there lies the difference!
