HDR & panorama/stitching software

[ungua]

Is there any simple software à la Photomatix (HDR) or PTGUI (panorama-pictures and stitching/blending) available for OpenSuSe 11?

Best regards

I use autostitch, and I run it under wine. It works well, and its very easy to use. AutoStitch

Thank you for your fast and helpfull replies! Autostitch did not start in a first attempt, because I lack Wine - I guess I can just install it with Yast, but there was a Wine-symbol and the name was shown in the task bar, does that mean anything? (screenshot).

Upon installation of Qtpfsgui there was an error with the "One click install"*, but downloading the .rpm-file worked well. Thank you very much!

It looks to me that you tried to run the application from konqueror, by simply clicking on the executable. I confess I have never tried to run it that way.

Instead I have wine installed, and I have "autostitch.exe" in a directory called /home/oldcpu/panorama, and to start the program I simply open a kde konsole and I type:

cd /home/oldcpu/panorama
wine autostitch.exe

You can get wine from the OSS repository:

http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.0/repo/oss/suse

or you can get a more "cutting edge/state of the art" version of wine from the build service directory for wine (which is where I obtain my wine version from):

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine/openSUSE_11.0

You can find out the above information about where pre-compiled and packaged versions of wine are located from simply doing a search on webpin: Webpin search for wine

I confess while I always preach to setup one's software management with ONLY oss, non-oss, update, and packman (with guidance here: Repositories/11.0 - openSUSE-Community ) and setup NO others ... NONE, ... in truth I also add a 5th repos, which is the wine repos, which you can add by:

su -c 'zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine/openSUSE_11.0 wine'

Then install wine with:

su -c 'zypper install wine'

Once wine is installed, and autostitch.exe is on your hard drive, you can follow my above suggestion, by running it with: wine autostitch.exe

Excellent! This is the first time Wine works for me. Feels like a historic moment, actually.

Have a nice weekend!
