Barry and everyone, I’ll be posting a follow up to this post which will include some options for printing, either at home or through a commercial printer.

Barry, there are (or at least were) a couple companies around that will print panoramas. Only one I can think of right now is ezprints (http://ezprints.com/Prints/panoramas/default.aspx). You choose the height that you want and the price is based off however long the panorama is.

Otherwise you could either have multiple panoramas printed on a single poster and cut them out later (could be expensive), or cut the panorama into 4×6 pieces (or whatever size you want), have those printed, and put them together afterwards.

I am a new user of this site and am enjoying it greatly. I have had a play with the Panorama program Hugin and my question is how do you print the panorama after you have completed it.

Peter, Thank you for your helpful “nod” to a free/inexpensive application – with a good, concise guide. I am a new member & seek to learn more. I use Realviz Stitcher v 3.1 but it is mainly used to generate QuickTime cubic [3D] panoramas, after some “self-learning”. The concept of printing to A3/A4 [with edited background] appeals to me.
I do also recognise constructive input from others on the “replies”.
Best wishes to all on this site,
David

Windows Live Photo Gallery has the option to create panoramas and it works like a charm!

Hugin 0.7 is also quite good at creating HDR photos. It uses enfuse just in the same way that it uses enblend for panorama stitching. The HDRs that come out are very realistically looking and IMO much better than the results I get from Photomatix or qtpfsgui

Great tutorial. I am eager to create my first panoramic. However, I do have a question. Given that this procedure will likely cause larger size photos (LxW) how do you print them? Other articles referenced above have rather parge print sizes. Can you pre-determine the size of the print you want before the stiching begins. Any light one can share would be great. This looks like fun and I may want to print one of my projects someday…thanks all.

Awesome! I have been hearing more and more about Hugin. I think I may try a panorama with it today!

A deliberately crooked approach can also give wonderful effects. Google’s picasa program (freely available for Mac, Linux and Windows) has an option to make a collage. This is like putting a bunch of pictures together like a puzzle.If you take your pictures deliberatly not exactly aligned with the horizon, it can give a wonderful effect. The collage method even has an option to create white borders, simulating as if you have the pictures layed out on a table and your ’stitching’ them together.
