DoubleTake for Mac

Really impressive and easy to use, and with a 3MB software! 😲

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.
