I've used Stitcher in the past and, while none of the pano apps are exactly speedy, my current experience is insane.
I've got a 2 row by 7 image pano going - so 14 images. It's not a 360. The images are all 8-bit, 8.2 megapixel images.
Right now, it's in its sixth hour of rendering. It hit 99% in the first 20 minutes. No, it's not locked up. I found the directory where it writes the temporary files and they are SLOOOWLY growing in size. Right now it's on the 12th out of, I assume, 14 files.
I use enblend, but it hasn't gotten that far yet. With my luck, it'll crap out on the enblend stage or there will be a flaw in the pano and I'll be back to square one.
This is a 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro with 4 GB of RAM running Leopard. The Stitcher version is 5.6.2.
What gives?
