What is Hugin?

Hugin combines overlapping photographs into panoramic images and other stitched compositions. It exposes alignment and projection controls for photographers who need more intervention than a camera or automatic phone panorama provides.

How to use it well

Capture overlapping frames with consistent exposure and sufficient scene detail. Import them into Hugin, inspect the proposed alignment and adjust problematic control points before stitching.

Review the finished edges and moving subjects closely, since the source photographs determine how cleanly a panorama can blend. The project supports mosaics and other series of overlapping photographs as well as immersive panoramas. Incorrect alignments can produce visible seams or distortion, so difficult frames benefit from manual checks.
