Panorama Stitcher
What it is
Panorama Stitcher combines multiple photos into a higher-resolution composite image. It automatically aligns pictures by matching overlapping areas, with spherical alignment for panoramas made by rotating a camera and planar alignment for scans, microscope images and aerial maps. The app also levels exposure and corrects lens shading. Spherical panoramas can use rectilinear or equirectilinear projection, while planar images include a rotation control. Before export, users can straighten or rotate the result, adjust exposure and set the crop. The app imports image formats supported by macOS, including Apple RAW formats, and exports JPEG, 16-bit TIFF or PNG. It can merge EXIF tags from source files, and equirectangular panoramas can use Photosphere tags. The free Mac edition, Panorama Stitcher Mini, is intended for smaller projects and stitches up to five images; its plan is listed as free. The app accesses only user-selected files and does not collect data, send images to others or use the Internet.
