Hugin (64-bit) for Windows

User Reviews

• Better control points, Lacks layered output + masks

  ejr2June 10, 2013

  Pros

  I have done over a 100 panoramas using various versions of Hugin. It has gotten better for novice users. However, see cons for expert users. It is good they went to 64 bit.

  Cons

  I have been using Hugin for 7 years. My inability to find the feature of layered output with masks, which is critical to cleaning up the panorama, is a serious drawback. Also, it doesn't seem to properly draw the previews.

  Summary

  I would up my rating if I can find out how to make a layered file.

  Pros

  Powerful! Fast! Flawless output! Intuitive User Interface! Utilizes writing temporary files in order to make large computations without running out of memory. Wizard works great! Manual settings allow for complex settings that are more than most anyone would need or even understand. Masks can be customized to help eliminate unwanted overlap or remove conflicting image items. Exposure wizard and custom settings work splendid. Writes exif data Does as much or as little as you want it to do.

  Cons

  I did not find any.

  Summary

  I was happy to be able to try this (64 bit)version. I tried this on a whim after using the panorama feature on a different download. This is a TOP RATE app! I started with a simple 2 picture widescreen shot, which was so easy to do and turned out so wonderful (using wizard and all defaults) that I put it to the test. I loaded 10 forest images from my 3G iPhone that were taken on-the-fly 360. They were connected very well. I did need to add some extra connectors, but found the interface so intuitive that I did not even have to open a help file in order to figure out how to do that. After linking the images, I was even able to manipulate the composite image so that the maximum amount of the image was in a clean crop. This program is easy to use and yet has deeply complex tools if you click around to find them. You can export the final image or the individual morphed files to re-assemble in another graphic editor. The process that this program uses makes it possible to combine multiple images in one pass. LOVE IT!!!
