![]() ![]() Will do parallel stitching for, for instance large documents/images scanned in sections. Pros – Relatively easy to use on good quality photos, offers facility for making corrections should the joins not be perfect. And it’s also possible for non Canon users to get it for free (or if you’ve lost your install CD), I posted about Canon Photostitch here – “How to get Canon PhotoStitch Panorama and Photo Stitching software for free” Canon have issued a fairly recent update. I does work, but is getting a little bit dated. This piece of software comes free with every Canon camera (I think). So we’ll start with the obvious – Canon Photostitch : Canon Photostitch PTGui Pro I really like too and do use often. So what’s best ? Well, best all round, for quality is Photoshop Photomerge, I haven’t been able to find better. There’s even a panorama facility built into my iPhone 4s (on which I take most of my photos). There’s also Hugin on the free end of things, which is based on the Panorama Tools free library.

Microsoft ICE (Image Composite Editor) is a good choice, because it’s free, and Microsoft do a 32 bit and 64 bit Windows version. ![]() It’s even possible to produce gigapixel images, the Microsoft ICE site talks about a gigapixel image, comprised of 800 individual photos ! My largest ever has been 35 individual photos. Without of course the expense of an expensive fisheye lens or a multi thousand dollar 75 megapixel camera. I like the power afforded to me to get wider angle shots or to be able to get a much higher megapixel result because of the multiple images being joined. I use Panorama and stitching software often for the photos I post on my blog. Each has it’s nuances, features and drawbacks. So what do I use instead ? Well it’s a tricky choice, because all panorama/stitching software isn’t created equal. Sometimes it won’t stitch together photos how I want. ![]() With a tripod then you’ll probably get an awesome merged result. Canon Photostitch software is good and works pretty well with good quality photos. ![]()
