The AutoStitchPic app combines several photographs into one continuous image. For example, you can take 3-30 overlapping photographs of a city skyline, and then merge them into a panorama. This app can assemble photos that are tiled horizontally as well as vertically, and multi rows photos supported.

Learn how to make a good panorama photo:

Setting up for your shoot, a stable position to take your panoramas from is important. Once you find your potential spot and set your iPhone camera up, rotate it to the extreme right and left edges that you want to include in your photo and make sure that there isn’t anything that is too big of a visual or physical obstruction. Something else to keep in mind is to try to set up so that the full range of your shot does not show shadows from you or your iPhone.

When you have the settings you want and have taken your extreme left pictures it is time to grab a reference point in the viewfinder about 20%-30% away from the right side of your viewfinder. You do this because you are going to swivel the camera so that this reference point is at the far left but still in the viewfinder so that there is some overlap between your photos.

As far as overlap is concerned, you are shooting digitally so snap away, overlap 30-50% if you want, but err on the side of overlapping too much. If you don’t overlap enough, as AutoStitchPic app attempts to blend the shots it will not have enough of a fingerprint to blend well.

Now simply repeat this process until you come to the extreme right end of your desired panoramic shot:

1. Choose a reference point about 20-30% away from the right edge of the viewfinder
2. Swivel the camera to the right until your reference point is at the left edge of the viewfinder
3. Take the picture
4. Repeat until you have taken photos that cover the entire area you wish to capture in your panorama

Make your panorama:

Now you are ready to ‘stitch’ your photos together. Please open each photo that you wish to add to the panorama in AutoStitchPic app. Click OK button. Now AutoStitchPic app goes into action. It analyzes and blends the photos. This could take several minutes.

Go ahead and save your picture and you have a panorama!

Features:

Blend Images Together: to have AutoStitchPic attempt to seamlessly blend exposure and color.
Vignette Removal: to correct for any natural lens vignetting (darkening) at the edges.
Geometric Distortion Correction: to repair any lens distortion (often caused when shooting at a wider angle).

Note:

Overlap the images – the images should overlap by at least 40%, but no more than 70%. Outside of this range, Photomerge may not be able to align the files correctly.
Shoot vertical – this is a little counter-intuitive since we’re making panoramas. It’s usually best to shoot vertical (portrait orientation). Since you’ll merge multiple frames together later to get as wide as you need, shooting vertical will give you a taller overall panorama. Also, you’ll need some of this vertical space for cropping. More on cropping later.

Pros and cons of Auto Stitch Pic-Merge Panorama app for iPhone and iPad

Auto Stitch Pic-Merge Panorama app good for

Great app. EZ to use and the results are nothing short of amazing!!! I love the pictures
very good. works very well most of the time. try to get some overlap (ideally 30%) on your adjoining photos.
Easy to use, excellent results if you frame individual pictures properly
Interface is much more complicated, not easy to save individual shots for use later
We are using this tool on our present vacation....excellent little tool that is very user friendly. For best results, the pictures should overlap more than 50%. Top tool.
I was lokjng for a panoramic app. Found few. But alignment or stiching is not exact. U can see the fault. This app is good.

Some bad moments

I had a free panorama app and decided to try another one a bit better!! So I bought this app!! Total deception!!! It doesnt stitch nor even 1/3 of the panoramas I used to stitch using another free app!!! And you have no control of the stitching process, nor even the size/quality of the final panorama!! Disappointing!!
When selecting existing photos to stitch together it only allows you to select from albums, not all the Moments or even the All Photos album. Waste of money.
How do I get my money back? Will not access all the pictures in my albums.
I wasted two dollars on this app. Every time pictures are loaded into the app, the error detail box indicates it cannot process the panorama stitch and to try again by adding more pictures. This goes on and on and on. I tried to contact Support on their webpage and all I get is a blank page. Do not waste your money. I am sure there are other apps out there that would do much, much better.
3 stars for the job of stitching, but it took my high resolution 17MB photos and stitched them into a tiny 207KB photo. Thats ridiculous. No sharpness or quality whatsoever.
If you previously used AutoStitch by Cloudburst Research...then this app will be a massive disappointment. You will be left with a longing that will never be satisfied...
