Merging panorama shots
What's the best way to merge panorama shots into a single photo?
Is there software that will automatically line up the pieces? Are there any tricks in taking the shots in the first place other than using a tripod? Thanks -- Using a Nikon Coolpix 4200 OS: Win 2K Email: Usenet-20031220 at spamex.com (11/03/04) |

Are there any tricks in taking the shots in the first place other than using a tripod? Thanks I use the "Stitch" function in JASC's After Shot and it, IMO, does a great job! I'm sure someone else can recommend a shareware/freeware utility instead if that's what you prefer. And no, you don't always need a tripod, but it does help in not letting your horizon wander too much. Jay Beckman Chandler, AZ |

I was able to locate several places to download it, but the Jasc website (http://www.jasc.com/products/?) does not list After Shot and the developer homepage link on Tucows (http://www.tucows.com/preview/252321.html) is not good.

I'm something of a software packrat and if it works, I usually resist running out for something else just because... I'm hopeful that someone will offer an alternative for you. Regards, Jay |

Thanks -- Using a Nikon Coolpix 4200 OS: Win 2K Email: Usenet-20031220 at spamex.com (11/03/04) I have used a copy of Canon PhotoStitch 3.1 which came with my Canon S520 printer about 18 months ago for this. Seems to work ok, but not spectacular when you have more than 2 photos to "stitch" as the photo becomes very wide (or alternatively not very high). I would make sure I overlapped the photos so that the software has something (common bits) to work with. Gerrit |
