Stiching photos together


Trying to make large panoramas as seen on many beutiful photos in the contest. I am having problems stiching them together. Have you any good ideas on some software packages that can assist with the process. I take a number of photos and use exposure bracketing and still I can really tell espesicially where the sky has been joined. Ant suggestiuons would be of great help.

Cheers
Russell

Are you using a digital camera? Check the software that came with it. My digital rebel came with software that can make panos. I have Photoshop too, but I haven't enough experience in it to tell you if it has pano capabilities.

Here is an example of the pano from 5 images made with the software from canon. Btw, my first pano...

Hope this helps..

  To prevent seeing the joins in things like the sky it is very important to make sure the exposure levels and the zoom/aperture etc settings are all identical between photos. So, exposure bracketing is not a good idea with panoramas (unless each image is taken under identical exposure settings). Some cameras have a 'stitch assist' mode for this (e.g. the canon powershots).

A good software package is: Panorama Factory http://www.panoramafactory.com/
