PhotoStitcher is a simple application meant to help you easily combine photos together in order to compose a panorama.
Though it’s one of the most easy-to-use photo joining and panorama creating applications out there, it isn’t exactly the most reliable and accurate. What I mean by this is that PhotoStitcher won’t just stitch any photos and create a panorama out of them. In fact, it won’t combine most photos at all. A “Cannot stitch, not enough key points” message will be shown most of the time, unless you attempt to merge photos which were meant, from the first place, to be used for creating panoramas. And by this I mean that they have to have compatible sizes, formats, and of course, content. The good news is that, most often, your very own photos, taken with the same camera, of the same landscape, will do. But the program was advertised as capable of smoothly combining photos of different resolutions, different shooting angles and even different perspectives into flawlessly aligned panoramas, and I wasn’t capable of seeing that actually happen during my testing.

Besides being very simple, easy-to-use and straightforward, PhotoStitcher has another important advantage: it allows selecting and using different types of stitching modes: plain, spherical, cylindrical, fisheye or stereographic. Furthermore, it allows zooming and cropping the photos prior to combining them.

Though it’s easy-to-use and good-looking, I’m still reluctant when it comes to recommending this tool. It might get the job done, but chances seem just as big that it will fail completely.
