Panoramatic pictures and HDR

The best application for panoramic pictures I have found is ICE from Microsoft. The application is small to download, easy and fast to operate and it creates the best seamless pictures I have ever got from any panoramic software I have ever tried. And a bonus: it's free.

In the case of HDR I am indifferent. HDRtist is extremely simple to use and it aligns the pictures correctly; however, it creates a strong hallo around dark objects and the processing is incredibly slow. Furthermore, in respect to the main idea of the application, simplicity, the application should automatically crop the pictures. So the resulting HDR picture doesn't have dark and light borders caused by the aligning of the source pictures with different exposure.

Luminance HDR has a good automatic alignment tool and it creates nice realistic photos. It's my choice.

Picturenaut has a bad automatic alignment - it just shifts the pictures, but it doesn't rotate them. Hence for handheld shots it's unusable.

EasyHDR is maybe good, but in may hands it felt like rubbish.


HDRExpress has a bad alignment tool and creates strange white lines in the processed HDR photos.
