photograph editing help please!

Post by Ben »

Hi everyone

As most of you know, I have been residing in 'The Valley', semi-permanently for the last six to eight weeks. In that time, I've been giving my son's camera a good workout.

What I am looking for is some software to stitch together photos to form a panorama. Something, preferably free or cheap to purchase, and something that you've used and can vouch for. I've got a series of approx 8-10 photos of a 300+ degree view of part of the campus with Mt Foster, St Paul's Dome with the lake in the foreground, and going around and including part of the South Esk River and flood-plains.
Anyway, your recommendations will be greatly appreciated!
Metta

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." -- C. S. Lewis
