Stitching photos together: panoramas, HDR, focus stacking

[kofa (István Kovács)]

@patdavid has written tutorials many years ago:
https://patdavid.net/2013/01/focus-stacking-macro-photos-enfuse/

And there are some articles on the main pixls.us site:

• PIXLS.US - Aligning Images with Hugin
• PIXLS.US - A Blended Panorama with PhotoFlow (and Hugin: PIXLS.US - A Blended Panorama with PhotoFlow)
• PIXLS.US - HDR Photography with Free Software (LuminanceHDR)

For focus stacking:

• focus-stack 1.4 is availabls
• MacroFusion - rewritten in TKinter (and this thread: Focus Stacking Porn (Not really....))

I just use Hugin for panoramas, and sometimes align_image_stack and enfuse from scripts to merge exposure-bracketed JPGs from the phone.
