Panorama photo question - one long still image
Dec 11, 2012 20:04:34 #
Hi, after shoot a panorama photo on my camera, how to see it as a one long still image on PC? I don't like the mode to see it scrolling from left to the right. Which free software can I use? Thanks!

Windows Photo Gallery or Windows Live Photo Gallery should give you what you want if the final image is saved as ONE file. It will not be the full height of the screen but should automatically display in full width. Then you can bring it up to full height and scroll right and left if you want to.

Do you mean the pano is too large to fit on the screen all at once? If so, any editing program can easily change the size.

Elements has a very good photo-stitch to make panoramas and the one that I use.
Canon cameras have a reasonable Photo-stitch on their CD.
If you haven't got Elements then look at the Microsoft site and you will find a free Photo-stitch program which is surprisingly good - especially as Microsoft are giving it free.
Remember though - depending on how many pictures you wish to join to make a panorama - your finished picture will get longer and narrower.
Also, when taking pictures for a panorama - allow a reasonable amount of overlap on each one and try to get the overlaps in the same place. You may need to lock the exposure otherwise the pictures could be noticeably mis-matched.
