Panoramas or stitching with PSPPX3?

[SyncroScales]

Hi.

Is it possible to do panoramas and stitching photos together with PSPPX3? I cannot find anything. I don't know if I am wording it right in the help - search.

What are the methods or is there more than one way?

Thank you.

Always more than one way with Photo editing.

But PSP does not have an automated feature for creating panoramas. For that I recommend a tool like Microsoft's Image Composite Editor (ICE).

Otherwise you can do what many here do. Place each image on its own layer and then slowly move each one into position, increasing the canvas size as necessary. And finally cropping out all of the extras. If images don't overlap perfectly you can do any number of things to make them look like they belong.

Here's a tutorial by Corel

Some alternatives to Corel's laughable attempt at stitching are Microsoft's ICE http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/dow ... fault.aspx and an open source program called Hugin http://hugin.sourceforge.net/

It doesn't bother me that Corel doesn't have a stitching routine, it does bug me that they produce a tutorial like that and try to make it appear that stitching by hand is "just that easy". About the only thing it's missing is some duct tape to cover the seam.

Frankly the absence of a panorama creator has annoyed me no end and I have made several feature requests (in different versions) to get one. There are some decent free ones on the market. Check this list out for some free and some not so free software: http://suite101.com/article/panorama-ph ... hy-a361647

Thanks for the info. I have an old Ulead one that is highly basic. I will check the others out, but maybe just keep the Ulead 360 program.
