A few years ago I tried taking my first panorama, the software that was available at the time wasn't great at matching up the photos and correcting distortion etc. so I did it manually in photoshop (time consuming but good results). Now I understand that the automatic stitching software is much better now, but can it deal with close range shots? The software I used in the past failed miserably if there was anything within about 10m, because of the large distortions, doing it manually can be pretty tricky at times, and I'm wondering whether there's an easier way. This is the pic that was difficult to stitch, things like the mesh sides and shadows made it very tricky to match up, think I did a fairly decent job of it tho, would current software be able to manage it?
