Last night I was up too late for my own good, drawn into some strange corners of the Internet over on the Mac section of Danny Choo's site, and found a link to DoubleTake, a Mac OS X application for stiching together panoramas. I decided not to try it out, but did add it to my del.icio.us links for later. My description was a bit strange ("$12; there are no free stitch apps that I can find; I'm having a hard time finding *good* ones, never mind free ones"), and hinted at my frustration with other tools like the open source, highly complex/somewhat slow Hugin and Canon's crappy still-looks-like-OS-9 Photostich.

I was very surprised to get up this morning and get an email from Henrik Dalgaard, creator of DoubleTake and other apps at Echo One. He is obviously tracking del.icio.us linkage, and wanted to know more:

Thank you for the delicious comment. It is ambigous though. Do you
have any feedback I could use to make DoubleTake better?
I am aiming to make it simple to get quality results with DoubleTake,
and let Stitcher and Hugin take care of the more professional needs.

I felt a bit silly, since I hadn't even tried the software yet, and also amazed at how well Henrik is tracking feedback. Well, I got home today, tried it out, and here's my review (in fancy dancy hReview format, thanks to hReview creator, inspired by D'Arcy Norman).
