Being a do-it-all kind of application, digiKam is suited not only for performing the mundane tasks of organizing and editing photos. The application also offers a specialized tools for more advanced operations: from blending bracketed photos to stitching panoramas.

The plugin wraps Hugin features into a user-friendly interface which dramatically simplifies the process of turning multiple photos into a panorama.
