• Very easy, very quick stitching for panoramas

  coolsma0536November 11, 2010

  Pros

  Started to use DoubleTake some years ago. Later moved to panoramafunction of Photoshop Elements and Arcsoft Panoramamaker. But DoubleTake's new version is quicker then Elements and Arcsoft Panoramamaker. And the results and cuttings are often better.

  Cons

  Sometimes you have to help DT to find a better stitch, but that's the same with other stitching software.

  Summary

  I like this software because it makes stitching of panoramafotos so quick and easy. And that for a very reasonable price. Compared to Arcsoft Panoramamaker it's quicker and far more Mac-like.

• I like those panoramas

  larryr5May 16, 2010

  Pros

  Easy to use Easy to align photos for merging Multiple export options

  Cons

  Limited color/exposure correction tools

  Summary

  This product is incredibly easy to use. Drag in the photos, the program will do it's best to align them. You can then correct the alignment and to some extent the color to make it all blend well. When done, there are a variety of ways to save the photo including putting it right back into iPhoto. Much better than those in camera panorama tools.

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I've used (and continue to use): 1. Calico 2. Hugin 3. DoubleTake 4. The "panorama" feature of Photoshop Elements 6 What I find is that none of these work well with all of my panos. Each program seems to hiccup on a different kind of issue. By having several in my hip pocket, I can almost always get a decent stitch with one of these. DoubleTake is among the easiest to use of all of these. When it works, it's very fast and very effective.

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I am not a professional photographer, nor a pro at Photoshop. However, I do a lot of photo projects for work, and have searched for a program to stitch together photos to make panorama shots. This program could not be any easier to use, it makes lining up the shots a breeze (they overlap with translucency). Fine-tuning is very easy as well. Not for pros, but for the casual photographer that wants a quick way to stitch photos, this is it.

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />VERY worthwhile and easy to use. Very intuitive. Worked the first time. This is a good reason to pay software people the big bucks. Well worth the price.

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Good price, good software. I've pushed HUGE panoramas through it (10 frame, each @ 8MP), and it does astoundingly well. It's extremely simple to use, looks good, and just does it's job well.

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I have spent a lot of time in photoshop putting panoramas together. So I was just blown away when I just dragged six frames of a 150-degree panorama onto the DoubleTake window and in 3 seconds or so it displayed a perfect panorama, 10,000 pixels by 1,900 pixels. The six frames were taken hand-held, they have a lot of overlap but the amount of overlap varied, as did the vertical framing. No problem for DoubleTake, it found all the match points instantly. Really, really impressive.

• Great - Simply great

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I have been using Double Take for some months and have been impressed with the simplicity, yet professionalism of the product. It does not have the bells and whistles of many Pano and QTVR programs, but it does not pretend to do anything other than stitch photos into a panorama. I used to use Apple QuickTime Virtual Reality - which Apple failed to keep up to date and did not even port over to OSX. Although it is still possible to use Apple QTVR Studio in Classic, it is a sin that the company that brought Quicktime Panoramas to us failed to keep up the development. (ok - rant over now) Double Take is so 'Apple Like' that it is a joy to use and does not really need a user manual or any great experience in creating Panoramas. I know that many camera manufacturers now include their own Pano software with the cameras, but not many seem to have OSX versions. Try DoubleTake - you will find it a great utility to keep.

• A supreme app for photographers

  rrober3August 26, 2006

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I have made over 50 panorama's, up to 14,000 pixels in width and I can honestly say that there is nothing like it anywhere. It is a snap to create, even using 8m pixel Nikon raw nef files. It handles any imnage size and does 90% of the work for you. Re-arranging joins and even altering the perspective or scale of an image is easy and effective. The developer of this app needs a big round of applause for this. I have no connection, just a very satisfied customer. A little story to illustrate my point. While I was on holiday in Siena this summer, I made a number of panoramas with DoubleTake and had one (width 10,000 pixels) printed as a present for our host, printed at only a metre width. The print shop wanted to know all the details of the software because they were so impressed with the output. Says it all really.
