RE: Stitching Software

["gary" <gsellani@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've used Panorama 2000 by arcsoft, and I've just done them by hand. I find
that getting the photos to match edge to edge is much more important than
the stitching software. You need to make sure the scanner is not adjusting
the photo per each scan, but rather uses a uniform set up for every image.

Panorama 2000 makes a guess at connecting your photos. If there isn't
something very simple for the software to snap to, it makes a guess and then
you need to move the correspondence points by hand.

If you go to www.lizardtech.com and get the djvu plug in, you can see a
panoramic I did with about a dozen frames by hand.

This photo was done with panorama 2000 using 4 frames:

You can see some blurring where the images were joined at the right. I could
not stop the software from doing this funny blurring of the two images.

[Sorry, I only do panoramics of military installations through a telescope,
so the images are not the sharpest.]

Maybe I'm making a negative recommendation?
