Originally posted by emalvick The question with regard to using auto perspective is how is the software doing it. Is it taking into account metadata and lens so that an image with a specific lens is adjusted the same way?
I generally do not adjust individual pieces of a panorama for perspective. Hugin does a good job on its own at doing that for me. I would think that if you go the route of adjusting the perspective before going to your software, then you should tell your panorama software not to try and make its own adjustments. That will just depend on how smart your software is at each step of the way.
OK, I wasn't aware that any perspective adjustments were made by stitcher software. I thought that the software decided on a boundary common to two images and joined the pixel arrays together. I guess that would require at least some spatial adjustment as any two pairs of points on two images might not have exactly the same spacing.
As one might guess, I've never done this, but look forward to trying it in the future.
