The Gimp is the GNU Image Manipulation Program, a sophisticated cross platform image editor. The Gimp is Free Software.

The Panorama Tools Plugins are available for the Gimp as the Panorama Gimp plug-in.

The Gimp is available for Windows, OS X and Unix. For Photoshop users, there is an experimental GIMPshop with a similar menu layout to Photoshop.

Panoramic photography related gimp plugins

pandora plugin allows you to spread a series of photographs into a multi-layer image for easy editing.

Panorama Gimp plug-in is the gimp version of the full Panorama Tools Plugins by Helmut Dersch.

phfluuh plugin arrange photographs into a multilayer image, correct barrel distortion and map from rectilinear Projection to cylindrical Projection.

Wideangle plugin corrects lens barrel distortion.

Stitchpanorama plugin lets you pick control points and distort photographs to fit.

Gimp drawbacks

  • The gimp doesn't currently support greater than 8 bits per pixel, ie. is doesn't support 16 bit per pixel high Dynamic Range images, though this is a target for future versions. However, there is a fork of the Gimp called Cinepaint that already supports 16 bits per pixel.
  • The gimp doesn't support CMS color profiles for anything more than simple conversions.
