Pano-stitching software for CS2 ?

Raphy

Hey guys, I tried searching in the forum but didn't have much luck...

I have Photoshop CS2 and i'm looking for compatible software (or plugin?) to stitch together some photos to create panos.

Can someone suggest software that they have used and liked ? or is "photomerge" my only option ?

I heard CS3 has some good options, but that's not gonna happen anytime soon for me.

THANKS !!! :thumb

When I was on a Windows XP system I used and loved AutoStitch

Now that I have a Mac with CS3, I'm using the merge tool in CS3. IMHO it's not nearly as good as AutoStitch. I've started playing with some of the commercial prorams based on AutoStitch (see the link above) but I haven't worked with any of them enough to give a personal endorsement.

I use the panorama factory... seems to do a decent job if the image exposures aren't too different.

Saying that.. I'll be giving Autostitch a try. looks good.

I bought Autopano Pro (www.autopano.net), which licenses autostitch. I like it pretty well.

I'd recommend downloading the trial version, though. There are a number of similar products which you can also demo, too (I'm pretty sure panorama factory is one of them, too).
