| 717990 | 2008-11-06 00:54:00 | I’m trying to join 3 snapshots together to make a Panoramic View but can’t find a way in Infranview or The Gimp to adjust horizons and in my case a road in the foreground. I have found the Panorama function in Infranview but can’t find a way to adjust anything. I can’t even find that function in The Gimp. Anyone point me in the right direction? :thanks |

| 717991 | 2008-11-06 00:59:00 | Maybe you need a camera that has the "stitch" function programmed into it :( Oops - maybe I should have run a Google search first before I opened my mouth :) A search of Google "stitch function +photographs" revealed 2.3 million hits. Try www.steves-digicams.com as a starter :) |

| 717992 | 2008-11-06 01:09:00 | Hi B.M. It's not the camera but the programme that makes this work well. I use Microsoft Digital Image 2006 and this requires virtually no alignment from me, provided that there is an element of overlap at one side of the shot. The most I have ever asked it to stitch in a panorama is 9 shots (a wrap-around of my back garden) and it did it beautifully. I'm sure that any number of modern programmes will do similar. | Scouse (83) | ||
| 717993 | 2008-11-06 01:42:00 | Try the demo Autostitch www.cs.ubc.ca | PaulD (232) | ||
| 717994 | 2008-11-06 02:08:00 | Thanks Guys. Autostitch can't produce anything other than a message "No Image Matches Found". I really think I need to be able to adjust them manually. :confused: Along the lines of stretching and shrinking photos until the vital parts like horizon and road match and then cropping the whole thing to make a tidy photo. Most of the bits in the middle are grass and bush so no vital matching there. |

| 717995 | 2008-11-06 03:15:00 | Did you allow for about 30% overlap on one side of each picture? Makes it a lot easier to do manually. | Scouse (83) | ||
| 717996 | 2008-11-06 03:29:00 | Did you allow for about 30% overlap on one side of each picture? Makes it a lot easier to do manually. Unfortunately no. This is just a brainwave that has come to me after looking at the pictures. Stitching them was not premeditated in any shape or form. Will keep it a consideration in future. :) |

| 717997 | 2008-11-06 03:52:00 | I have done this several times with Gimp but: (1)The pics need a bit of overlap (2) all taken preferably at the same time but essential that light conditions are as near as possible to 100% the same. (3) each pic is impoted as a layer then matched to the previous one. I have done a panorama of 5 pics with no problems.. |

| 717998 | 2008-11-06 07:00:00 | If you want to invest a little, Photoshop Elements has a function that does the job. The Auto mode is usually sufficient but there are other options including a manual mode. | Shortstop (632) | ||
| 717999 | 2008-11-06 07:03:00 | I could try and do it for you if you sent them to me. With Photoshop x2 |
