When I first got my Canon PowerShot S230, it came with software for stitching panoramas together, made by Canon. The software worked OK for perfectly-shot panoramas, but it didn’t deal well with differing exposure levels, imperfect alignment, etc., and dealt very poorly with bad angles. Nonetheless, I was immediately hooked on making panoramas.

A year ago or so, I found some software called autostitch, which absolutely rules for stitching panoramas together. The downside is, it only runs on Windows. I have a Mac. On Sunday, I went to the autostitch site, and noticed some new links; they’ve licensed their technology to Kekus Digital, who have made Calico … autostitch for Mac OS X! I downloaded it, tried it out, and bought it immediately.

Here are some of the panoramas I’ve stitched together with it:

• Lake Tahoe from the North, Lake Tahoe, CA (24 images)
• Desert scene, Death Valley National Park, CA (29 images)
• Ubehebe Crater, Death Valley National Park, CA (20 images)
• Panamint Valley, CA (22 images)
• San Francisco Bay Area from Skyline Drive, CA (23 images)
• Grand Canyon, AZ (23 images)
• Bryce Canyon, UT (10 images)
• Mt. Ararat, outside of Yerevan, Armenia (6 images)
• Nashville, TN (4 images)

Note that if you click on the image on the gallery pages, you will get the full size version, some of which are up to 30MB. Enjoy!
