Step 4AutoStitch
Load all the photos onto your computer.
Next, open up Autostitch. You may have read my previous instructable, about making panoramas. After I wrote that instructable out, someone posted a comment, linking to a program that does it all automatically, Autostitch. So, that's what we'll be using in this tutorial, instead of autopano-sift and Hugin.
Autostitch is remarkably easy to use. It basically creates a panorama automatically, as soon as you open the picture files. First, though, we'll want to take a look at the options.
There's a bunch of different settings, here, but there's really only 2 you need to mess with: output size, and image rotation.
Right now, I reccomend that you leave the output size at something low, around 1400X700 pixels. The higher you set it, the long it takes to process. If you decide you really like how it turns out, you can come back and make a larger panorama.
Image rotation: If you were weird, and fixed the camera to the tripod, so that it was sideways, then click "Clockwise," or "Anticlocckwise," depending on how you did it. Otherwise, leave it at "none."
Click OK, to close the options.
Them, go to File>Open, browse to the folder your pictures are in, and open them all. Use Shift-click to select all the pictures you're using at once, and then click open. Autostitch will work for awhile, and then produce your panoramic image, which it calls pano.jpg, and palces in the same folder as your pictures.
Now, it's time to move in to the next step.
