Hugin Reviews

Despite some negative comments, version 2024.0.1 works on Mac M1 with macOS Sequoia 15.6.1. However, the installation isn’t as smooth as it should be: make needs to be installed separately, and the pto2mk component is requested when launching the tool, but it cannot be installed because it’s obsolete. Thanks to Copilot, which helped me solve the issue, I was able to continue with the installation: it pointed out that pto2mk has been replaced by a newer component (hugin_executor), and by renaming it, I eventually managed to make the new component visible at startup in place of the old one and use the Panorama tool.

Can't even get past the installation process. Always needs to restart in the middle of installation and still shows it even after the restart. After clicking OK, the installation finishes but it fails. It's on Windows 10 22H2.

Current version unusable on M1 silicon Mac - as others have noted, can't get past tip of the day

As @stokestack said on his review, the MAC version is not usable. The daily tip window comes up and if you try to close that window, you get a spinning beach ball and you have to Force Quit the program. I have downloaded and been able to use Hguin before, so there has to be something wrong with this download. May we please get this corrected?

Mac builds of Hugin There is a Google group (mailing list) “hugin and other free panoramic software”. The macOS version of Hugin is also discussed, and an unofficial Apple Silicon / Intel version of Hugin 2024.0.1 has been testing. Although some features are not available, it is working good.

I'm running Sequoia 15.1.1 on a 2021 MacBook Pro and the latest software version of Hugin on Sourceforge is 2019.2.0. I can't run it because it fails the Apple test for malware. What's the issue? Did the developers fail to sign the application? Is there anything you can do to allow this to run on Macs? Pity, because it looks like a good application otherwise.

Absolutely contrintuitive interface and it doesn't change over years. Some of photos displayed upside down or no depending on tab selected with no any apparent logic

Crashes on launch on Mac OS (14, Sonoma) after you dismiss the tip of the day. Also, the only available Mac build is four years old. Tried to build it from source, but this fails with <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Downloading enblend-enfuse >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ./download-all.sh: line 54: hg: command not found Extracting _src/Image-ExifTool-12.50.tar.gz tar: Error opening archive: Unrecognized archive format

Long-time user here. Have made hundreds of panos in more than a decade. It almost always was excellent (as long as input was good enough...) For some reason, installer 2023.0.0-win64.msi fails with "Access denied" on Win11. Rebooting did not help, no admin shell, nothing. Ideas?

Hello, Just upgraded my notebook to mac M3 sonoma, Hugin doesn't want to run anymore. Version 2019.2.0 is the latest one I find back for mac ; is there a version which works on new macs late 2023 ?

Easy to use software, thank you very much for developing this program and making it available to everyone!!

Great job, makes panoramas better than Photoshop. Please add support for JPEG XL (*.jxl) and HEIF (*.heic) picture formats as input

Thank you!

excellent work, loved it !!!

Will not run on Mac OS Big Sur because the 'Developer cannot be verified'.

Doesn't load on Windows 10 the first time. Second load, it just crashes after reporting a GL driver error

Very easy to join an A3 plan scanned with an A4 scanner, once I worked out the right settings. Perfect results! thanks

First time user experience: In less than five minutes from downloading Hugin, I had my 3-image panorama done and uploaded to an online album. The only complication was my Mac not wanting to open software from SourceForge. One caveat: Hugin didn't obviously let me know it had generated the panorama, so I tried a second time and was asked if I wanted to over-write the .tiff it had made. I didn't, I went and found it, and voila! A beautifully merged, exposure blended image. It looks like this software can do a lot, although my plain needs aren't likely to require much exploration of its capabilities. Congratulations and many thanks to the developers for this excellent software.

great, does a better job than my grubby fingers can do in MS paint

Thank you for a good program under a free open source license!

Thank you so much for re-integrating the "Panini General" with the sliders! (2016 Hugin had no sliders). I've used Windows Hugin (nona and enblend in batch mode) for stitching three wide-angle lenses of the sky into a fisheye that we project on our planetarium dome. Likewise with a 360 cam tracking the Sun (with a blocker) I feed it tilt/yaw/roll from astro params and reproject it to zenith -up fisheye. I use the Win version for all my panos. Sure it is not intuitive, but with a little help from the community group you can get things working. You guys are fantastic for pouring your time into this!

Cannot stitch any images. You get always precondition violation. caught exception: Precondition violation! RemappedPanoImage<RemapImage,AlphaImage>::remapImage(): image unexpectedly changed dimensions. (C:\Prog\Hugin\dynamic_vs2017\hugin-hg\src\hugin_base\nona/RemappedPanoImage.h:458)

This made me to register to sourceforge to be able to post a warning message. Do not use this abomination of a software. It behaves completely randomly, sometimes finds everything automatically but most of the time not and when you have to go to layout/projection/crop menus the behaviour becames absolutely erratic. Maybe after few days of reading quite detailed documentation it can work ... I went for Microsoft ICE yes, shame on me. J.S.

Great tool in the hands of a professional. May be a bit difficult for beginners though. I use it because it is suitable for fit panaramas from different shots made with different cameras.

Windows 10/64 bits : no problem installing and did not crash on my configuration (version 2018.0.0.5abfb4de7961 built by Thomas / W10 Enterprise v1703/15063.877, 12GB, i5-6300HQ). Very easy to use. Did not produce a result very satisfying WITH THE SAMPLE PHOTOS I HAD TO MY DISPOSAL, which where not really taken to create a panorama. So I guess it's my fault. Easy to install, easy to run, easy to create a resulting image and good step by step explanations (I am totally a dumb regarding to create panorama images and even taking good regular pictures, that's why I need a program that "thinks" for me). Worth give it a deeper try for what I need to do now : creating landscape panoramas. I'll try to come back in a few to complete my review.
