793631 2009-07-21 05:10:00 Hi all,

A while ago when I was trying to find the download for Photo Story, I chanced across another Photo editing app made by Microsoft.

The idea was you take 3-4 family portrait photos all taken at the same time, and somebody is bound to be blinking or pulling a face or something ... so it "merges" the "good" parts from them all and makes one final nice photo. Any ideas what that app was called? I cant find it for the life of me :(

Thanks


Chill.

Just grabbed it, and it works if you put your date back to 2007 :D
Apparently Photoshop CS3 has "photomerge" which does the same thing?

793637 2009-07-21 08:15:00 Looks like it was meant to be part of Vista Ult extras, but it never happened. Paintshop Pro x2 has an HDR photo merge option in it. If thats the same thing Speedy Gonzales (78)

HDR is quite different - it's intended to create a certain photographic effect, rather than simply stitch together several photos.

The latest thing from MS is Photosynth. It is free and easy to use. Your photos are stitched and stored online. Can be printed off if desired. Give that a try.
