Windows Phone App Review: AutoPanorama

AutoPanorama for Windows Phone

AutoPanorama, every bit the name implies, is a panorama app for your Windows Phone. The app is very like to Pano and will stitch 2 or more images together to create that broad panoramic look for landscapes, indoor shots or whatever other situation where you can't step dorsum far enough to get everything captured in i shot.

AutoPanorama tin can practice a decent job at merging the individual photographs to create panoramas. But I found that the app struggles more times than not to create a seamless, level stitching or merging of the photographs.AutoPanorama is a prissy option for Windows Telephone cameras that lack a native panorama feature but you demand a bit of patience and a sturdy tripod.

The layout of AutoPanorama has a large view finder that has a small-scale partition on the left side that is used to marshal your pictures. Push controls line the right that will create a new image, access settings, stop the prototype capture, a capture or shutter button and access to a aid section. Settings control the transparency level of the alignment window and your wink mode (on/off/auto/ruby eye reduction). You can capture images one of 2 ways, tap the "Capture" button or employ the camera hardware button. You can tap to focus from the screen just the screen capture option is not available.

AutoPanorama works in a similar fashion to Pano. You lot take your kickoff image and the correct portion of your kickoff image appears in the alignment window. The snippet of the image is transparent and you lot use that to line up your next shot. Once lined up you lot snap your next shot and repeat the steps as needed.

When you are through capturing the images, tap the Cease Button and the app will sew together each individual photo together to make the panoramic image. One time AutoPanorama is done doing its thing, a preview of the paradigm volition appear and from the three-dot menu you'll have the option to save the epitome to your Photo Hub.

There isn't any documentation on how many images can exist stitched but in testing the app out, I was able to stitch together viii images. You do lack the power to switch orientation from mural to portrait. Not sure if that'south a detraction or not.

While Autopanorama is a squeamish app that allows you to create panoramic images there is still some work to be done. First, the alignment windows is a little on the pocket-size side. While I similar that you can adjust the transparency the narrow window made information technology tough to line things up just correct.

The other issue with AutoPanorama is the cease event. Due to shifts in the horizon, yous can't ever match upwardly things upward exactly in the alignment window. The app itself is going to accept to adapt for shifts in the horizon and match the lines up. Additionally, the exposure on each image needs to be blended to create a seamless connection.

Autopanorama struggled to make the fine adjustments in aligning upwards the images and blending them seamlessly. Some of the exam images had shadows running along the seam and ghosting due to mis-alignment. Both examination shots were have from a tripod that was level and the app all the same had difficulty aligning the photos to avoid horizontal shifts.

All in all, AutoPanorama is a decent panoramic app for your Windows Phone merely yet needs some fine tuning under the hood. I like that yous can adjust the transparency of the alignment window and controlling the flash will come in handy for indoor shots. I don't think it's incommunicable to capture quality panoramic images with AutoPanorama only you'll demand a piddling patience and a sturdy tripod. It is our agreement that the developers are working on an update that volition add an alignment aid and hopefully improve the merging procedure.

While in that location'due south withal some work to be done, AutoPanorama has potential. It is a free, ad supported app and yous tin catch it here at the Windows Phone Market place.
