Simon, it looks as if you've joined 2 (or more) pictures together. If so
what did you use to do this?



Hello John,

Curses! You spotted the join. I think I used Enroute Quickstitch, which I
bought many years ago. The main good thing about it was that if could handle
panoramas with multiple images in the horizontal and vertical directions, up
to 6x6 images.

I just checked and it is apparently discontinued. See
http://www.panoguide.com/software/re...titch_v20.html so sorry, not
much help there. There must be many newer products that do this kind of
thing.

It was very smooth: I only noticed one little step discontinuity (at
the base of what I guess is your shower enclosure). I'm particularly
impressed that all the straight lines really look straight. I've been
using Arcsoft Panorama Maker which came with my Nikon Coolpix 3100 and
whilst it can sometimes do a nice job on outdoor scenes it's pretty
much pants on interiors: even when you tell it which points to marry
up on adjacent frames there's no way to compensate for the differnet
parallax distortions of the images, so you get bent lines instead of
straight. (That's when it manages to marry up the images at all: I've
had a few pictures of baths looking like Picassos :-)

cheers

John

I got Canon Photo Stitch supplied with my new digital camera but I dont
know if you can get it seperately .
You could do a search of
www.tucows.com
to see if there is any freeware available that does this .
