I want to take a picture of what’s on the wall behind me, so I would have had to take three different pictures. Then I’d have to edit them and put them together. Thankfully, I can now use a free iPhone app that will allow me to take panoramic pictures easily.

Creating a panorama is as simple as picking two or more images from your photo library and dragging them into alignment. PanoLab handles perspective correction for you. When you’re finished, you can export your creation back to your photo library for emailing, uploading, or whatever else you’re into.

PanoLab gives a simple (and fun) canvas for combining multiple photos to form a larger one. Source photos are added to a grid, then dragged into the positions where they best match adjacent images. Multi-touch allows rotation of images as well. The combined image can then be zoomed and cropped to produce a new image that is stored to the phone’s library.

While the app isn’t yet perfect, it is very good and a lot of fun to play with. I’m sure future versions will only get better, as well.

I think the app is a bit unusable because when taking another photo it doesn’t show a fade of your last one so ok you have too over lap them just to make sure, but then it has “drag to align the photo” what were they thinking, did they not try the app before using it. it is alright if you are adding and photo under another but I first too a picture of straight in front of me then I went higher and there was no way I go align it up. They should make allow you to turn it off.

I actually stumbled upon this app two days before i saw this video. Its really amazing. But can be better. I had a problem with exposure being different on the photos. It would be great if the developer makes it possible for the user to adjust the picture exposure. And also i wish there was a way to save the images as some sort of a panorama image file (so that you can view the image in a natural panorama, globe format.
