If I take several shots of a large group of people, is there a software to
help me stitch them together?
The common stitching software for scenary won't work because people moves
between shots. If you stitch blindly at the photo boundary, you may get half
a person looking left and the other half looking right. In situation like
this, you have to take the entire person (or at least the entire head) from
either one of the photo. I've done this stitching manually; it is very time
consuming.
I don't expect the computer to be able to do this fully automatically, since
software cannot recognize what is half a person and what is an entire
person. However, computer-assisted stitching maybe possible and could save a
lot of time. |

If the person moves, it will never work, not matter what software you use.

Not software, but it seems the solution might be to shoot with two identical
cameras, side by side, at virtually the same moment. Then stitching the
results into one photo.

It's very do-able in software, but neither simple nor easy until after
you've gone up the learning curve. Look for a local class perhaps.

Stitcher (I use 5.0) by Realviz lets you apply a 'stencil', which is
basically a mask that you can define on any part of any image. It prevents
that part from showing up in the final image. I use this function (as it is
intended) to cover up people or things that have moved between shots. It
works just fine.

Ahhhh... It's easy! Perhaps slightly beyond basic skills, but not
requiring a class. >> Stay informed about: people photos stitching software? |

Not true Steve, you know the perils of saying never right? I recently
took a series of shots of a large BMX event
with LOTS of moving people then stitched them together using Autopan
Pro. The key is to export the file with
layers then look for ghosted areas where people have moved between the
stitched shots and simply erase down to the
layer where their image is solid. The layered psd file from Autopan Pro
was large, 754 MB, so it was a little
ungainly but the resulting panoramic file was fantastic with no movement
defects. I would post it but with the
aspect ratio (more than 12 to 1) you wouldn't be able to see any detail
at a file size proper for posting.Steve Mackie wrote:
