...
The reds here are a great follow-on from Armando's XPAN and it looks like a hint of mist clinging to the trees?
...

Thanks Colin! The colour combo with Armando's image was not intentional, glad you like that. And indeed, there still was some mist between the distant trees, thanks for noticing.

I have checked Akira's link, and I cannot find any Android links to developer Bram Bos. Let us hope that Bram Bos extends his XP4N app to run on Android phones as well.

I feel like I'm missing out as I have an Android phone and use it much more than my camera
Does anyone know of an app as good as XPAN that runs on Android?

I still don't know how the XPAN app works
Do you simply take two shots then it stitches them?

With a street scene like this, have you had any issues with parts of the scene moving/changing between shots?
Or is it just a question of choosing your subjects with this caveat in mind?

Hi Colin,

may I answer your question? The XPAN app just crops out a 1:2,7 portion of the original photo, there is no stitching. I'm using ProCamera app on iPhone; it offers several panorama formats (2:1, 2.4:1, 3:1), also just a crop of the original 4:3, but it also saves an uncropped DNG file that comes handy in postproduction. For me the main advantage of XPAN app or ProCamera is the option to view and compose the shot in panorama. I wish there were more ratio options in my Nikon Zf.

Jürgen, thank you for your help. Colin, just as Jürgen says, what XP4N app does is just to crop the iPhone camera's original single image to the 64x24 (XPan) format and apply the selected film simulation. It is as simple as that. And that's why the XP4N users post their images here.

Hugh, unfortunately, the XP4N app seems to be only for iPhone and not for Anroid, at least for now...

Thank you Jürgen and Akira

My initial thought was that i can crop my current images myself....but i see ths advantages of being able to compose with that layout.

And I'd missed the fact it offers film simulation effects
I really like what you're all producing with it.
