hugin.install by: Pablo d Angelo and Hugin Team

**Introduction** This free and open-source software is independently developed by a third-party. With Hugin you can assemble a mosaic of photographs into a complete immersive panorama, stitch any series of overlapping pictures and much more. Hugin is an Open Source panorama stitcher and graphical user interface (GUI) for Panorama tools. It also provides a number of additional components and command line tools. Although Hugin is essentially a panorama stitcher, like other GUI front-ends it has a range of advanced features: Among the Hugin workflow options, it is possible to correct exposure, Vignetting and White balance between photos; generate HDR, exposure fused or focus stacked output from bracketed photos; or use 16bit and HDR input data natively. Photos can be digital or scanned, and taken with any kind of camera. A full range of lenses are supported, from simple cameraphones to obscure fisheye lenses. Hugin supports various output projections including a range of spherical, cartographic, and camera projections. Hugin supports panoramas taken with multiple rows of photos, with or without bracketing. Bracketed photos can be handheld, taken using a DSLR bracketing function, or as consecutive panoramas shot at different EV exposure levels. Hugin can produce successful panoramas shot with cameras that always shoot using auto-exposure and auto-whitebalance. hugin also supports the use of masks which means that you can exclude parts of images you don't want to appear in your panoramas, or include parts of image you specifically want to appear in your panoramas. Hugin also uses a separate (background) panorama stitcher. This means that you can render a panorama in the PTBatcherGUI stich window, while working on the next panorama in hugin. Starting with version 2011.2.0, Hugin is scriptable in Python. The scripting functionality is still in its infancy and requires more development and testing. For now it is available only in Linux and Windows, and currently there is no feedback from the plugin apart from it's success or failure, which is communicated in a dialog. If you're on Linux, you can start hugin from the command line and switch to the window you started it from while the plugin is running - then you'll see any console output it may produce. **Hugin Manual:** https://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin#Simple_User_Interface **License** https://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/

Upscayl by: Newegg

**Introduction** Upscayl uses AI models to enhance your images by guessing what the details could be. It uses Real-ESRGAN and Vulkan architecture to achieve this. Our backend is fully open-source under the AGPLv3 license. This free and open-source software is independently developed by a third-party. **I don't see a drastic change in my upscaled image. Why is that?** Upscayl can enhance low resolution images and images that are pixelated but it cannot de-blur or do focus adjustment on your image. If your image is out-of-focus or totally blurred, Upscayl is not the right tool for it. Please use images that are similar to the examples we've given here. **Is there a CLI available?** The CLI tool is called upscayl-ncnn. **Do I need a GPU for this to work?** Yes, unfortunately. NCNN Vulkan requires a Vulkan-compatible GPU. Upscayl won't work with most iGPUs or CPUs. But hey, no harm in trying ;) **How can I contribute?** You can report issues, fix code and add features by submitting PRs, or donate! 😊 **What's the GPU ID for?** It is for selecting which GPU to use. The specific procedure is detailed in the Wiki. Note that for Windows systems, if Upscayl is not set to performance mode, the system may override this setting. **Where do I find more models?** More models can be taken from here: https://github.com/upscayl/custom-models Upscayl uses Real-ESRGAN-ncnn-vulkan binaries to upscale images. **User Guide** https://github.com/upscayl/upscayl/wiki/Guide **License** https://github.com/upscayl/upscayl#AGPL-3.0-1-ov-file
