Some users have expressed concern about a perceived lack of sharpness in images produced by The Panorama Factory when compared to images from other panoramic stitchers. This article investigates the apparent lack of sharpness in The Panorama Factory images by comparing a panoramic image made with The Panorama Factory to the same image made by another panoramic stitching application. It will be seen that the apparent lack of sharpness in The Panorama Factory images is simply due to the fact that the other panoramic stitching application automatically applies a sharpening filter whereas The Panorama Factory does not. The panoramic images used in this article were made by James Rigg, the author of The Guide to Panoramas and Panoramic Photography . The panorama was made from 10 frames shot using a 35mm film camera on a tripod but without a pano-head.
