PSA Good free panorama software exists, it was discontinued by Microsoft years ago but you can still find it

Just an FYI for anyone who wants to do panoramas, but Microsoft Research made an excellent tool called the Image Composite Editor many years ago and I used it for ages before photography got more serious and I got Lightroom.

However, I still use it for certain panoramas where Lightroom fails, and there are some pretty cool options like making a panorama from a video or structuring a panorama from a planned grid that Lightroom struggles with. I was just using it for a video and thought I'd highlight it here.

Sadly Microsoft Research discontinued it but you can find mirrors of it online, for a readup on it's capabilities, I found this guy who also has screenshots: https://jacobfilipp.com/image-composite-editor/

Normal disclaimer, don't download anything you don't trust, verify everything yourself, if this guy doesn't pass your test, I'm sure you can find the executable elsewhere. For people who don't want to give Adobe money but want a panorama editor, I thought this was worth highlighting again.
