I'm very impressed. I've used Photoshop for panos for a long time, and I always figured when the stitching didn't work, it was my fault. I figured Photoshop is great, must be my carelessness. Not so! I trialed this before buying, and it worked on a few difficult panos that Photoshop failed at. Now that I bought it, I've been trying it on some old images, and it is working great!

Just purchased this since the demo worked great. Easy to use.

As the previous review I've been using Canon's Photostitch up until very recently when it broke under Lion. This prompted me to find an alternative and I now wish I'd found this app earlier! Tried out the app with a few panoramic landscape shots I'd taken in Argentina recently and it created panoramas perfectly from simple drag and drops. Probably one of the quickest app purchases I've made!

For years, I've used Canon's PhotoStitch app, which came with a printer I'd bought long ago, to create panoramas and stitch pictures together. Despite the increasing age of PhotoStitch, it has served relatively well. Relatively well, that is, until recently when I was scanning some sheet music for my roommate's father. The music was written on large pieces of paper and I had to scan each document in sections. PhotoStitch got hopelessly confused trying to deal with all the horizontal lines on the page. A quick search lead me to DoubleTake, which I installed and immediately, I was able to combine the sections of each scan to make a perfect picture. Since then, I've used it to redo some older panoramas and so forth I had made, and to finish some that I'd never been able to complete due to PhotoStitch being unable to handle it. The software has performed flawlessly in nearly all of my attempts, and gives you a wealth of control over how each image is processed without making it seem overly complicated. This software is entirely worth the $25, and then some, for what it does.

Fabulous piece of software. Easy to use and does what it is supposed to do in an elegant way. I love the results it makes of my panorama shots@

An unbelievably easy and intuitive app. I too have struggled with Adobe PS, trying to stitch together several images, making for a really disjointed looking panorama. DoubleTake is super easy to use, literally drag and drop and drag images into the well, and that is it. I combed back through several years of photos and redid some panoramas with this app. Huge difference. A definite recommend! Out of 23 panoramas I had tried, it successfully combined all but 2!

All I can say is amazing. A while back I was 'trying' to stitch a series of photo's together using Photoshop Elements 6, and a couple other panorama programs I found here. I gave up in frustration. I ended up with knots for the panoramas or nothing. I deleted the series of panorama shots long ago. I'll have to take them once again & use DoubleTake to do the job of stitching them together. This is so easy and effortless. I made three panoramas in no time. They look great! This is definitely worth buying.

This program uses a different approach than other Panorama programs. You slide and position images in place and that works very inuitive compared to 3-point alignment. The result can be pretty good in a few seconds although a good panorama takes probably 10 minutes. It is fast too (I guess you only work on smaller preview images, ond compute the final image on save) The interface is very inutive and OS-X like (appealing cocoa app). The app is also very stable (does not crash). I would like to see more geometry options: negative fisheye & Hor+Ver-fisheye simultaneously & skew. The only odd thing is that this is a Panorama maker, which to me is not completely clear just looking at the name and description. The pricepoint is exactly right (especially when you pay in EUR (1 EUR = 1.5 USD)

Really easy to use and pretty much all you need for stiching. I just wish I had more RAM and CPU to process a bunch of 8MP pics more smoothly.

DoubleTake is the first choice if you want some pictures merged to a panorama - it takes a few minutes and produces great results. For the moment you might have to check and calculate the focal length correction for your camera manually - chances are good that future versions will do that automatically... (Thank you Henrik for your great support) Try it - and you will buy it! If you have some more money to spend: Give AutoPano Pro a try - it does a even better job when dealing with images that have large offset and exposure variation - including HDR calculations.

This thing is better than sliced bread, because if you wanted to, I bet DoubleTake could stitch the bread back together for you. It's that good! ;) Seriously though, REALVIZ and Adobe you should feel pretty low. This thing puts their stitching tools to shame, and for what? $17? What a trip!

Just the best Panorama maker out there. Its simplicity belies just what you can do with this app. I have put together 7 and more Nikon nef files of 8 megs each to create panoramas of up to 15,000 pixels in width. The outputs are great. I have tried many many different ways to create panoramas, and after many disappointments, used to rely on my own work in Photoshop. This app blows away all my previous efforts and I for one take my hat off to the developer. Incidentally, this is the first application I have felt strongly enough about to comment on in MacUpdate. Says it all.

This is a great piece of software!!! The drop & drag make it soooo easy to use. My only complaint is with the sliders that let you adjust where the pics are blended. These could be larger. If you miss clicking one, you end up shifting your photo. As a novice pano dude, I always get one photo that's much brighter or darker than the rest. Suggestion: it would be an awsome option to be able to adjust things like brightness on individual photos to better blend. Keep up the outstanding work.

Oh Boy! now we have to listen to windows crap on our side of the fence. Autostitich has been repackaged a number of times; for mac it is here, as Calico: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/20652 and although some may prefer it's idiot proof ways, it certainly has limitations. Many better options exist for mac users, Doubletake being one of them!

autostitch is the absolute best panorama creator, but its a win32 app although it runs under WINE so maybe DARWINE? oh yes its free as well

Great piece of software, but lacking the ability to choose how much the images are blended. Hopefully in the next release, as this was one feature I was looking for.

There are more full featured image stitchers out there, but I've not seen one as easy to use as this. And the price can't be beat! I was very happy with the initial results, though some turned out better than others. The only problem is that it's meant for two images rather than vast panoramas. This limitation can be bypasses by repeatedly saving a merged image and then adding to it. A bit laborious. but it works well enough. Hopefully this issue will be solved with further development. And the ability to manually position photos when the application doesn't quite get it spot on would be wonderful. All in all, however, this is a great piece of freeware!
