Hugin - Creating real panoramas (free)

[helmut]

Hugin is a free, cross-platform tool for creating panoramas by stitching images. I haven't tried Hugin out but the screenshots look very promising.

From the webpage:

Goal: an easy to use cross-platform GUI for Panorama Tools.

With hugin you can assemble a mosaic of photographs into a complete immersive panorama, stitch any series of overlapping pictures and much more.

This is our second release in 2010. It delivers some major new features, completes integration of projects from the 2009 Google Summer of Code, and includes many general improvements.

I have used Hugin several times, I can warmly recommend it. Fairly easy to use.
