PS Elements does a good job for me. Expensive just to stitch, but cheap as a good editor

I have ps10 and lightroom 4 but I have not found a stiching program there.

In Elements Organiser, select the photos to be merged and then choose the menu File/New/Photomerge Panorama, click on Add Open Files and follow the instructions. (I use PSE 9 but I think later versions are the same).

Four frames from my Fuji S5 Pro... no editing other than the stitch in the create menu of Windows Live Photo Gallery (Free). Seems to have a good blend feature as there were some exposure difference in the blue portion of the sky. Again I did nothing but the stitch and crop. All told, took the pics off my front porch and fifteen minutes, including the captures, had this pano in my computer. Last nights sunset. Second Pic, Same... four Fuji frames, ten minutes on the computer. Slow because it was my first pano with Windows Live Photo gallery. Excellent blend. Simple crop of the stitch.

Open Windows Live Photo Gallery. Navigate to the folder containing the source images you want to Pano. I usually put just the images I want to stitch in a folder for the Pano. Select the images to stitch. Go to Create Menu and left click. Click on the Pano function. The program starts stitching and puts the stitch up on the monitor. Crop and save.

It's a very simple process and I don't see any sophisticated functions, but haven't spent a lot of time with it. That's very good for me with my level of patience (or impatience)

Today started with rain (again) but the sun's out now, and the leaves are pretty good, but not quite there yet - still lots of green.

PS. In PSE 11, use the menu Edit/Photomerge/Photomerge Panorama. Does an excellent job on a series of handheld pictures.

I have been using Hugin. It is free but very good. I am using a Nikon d7000, Sigma 8mm f3.5 fisheye and a Nodal Ninja R10 Ultimate panoramic head with a 3 Legged Thing Brian X1 tripod.

Wow! Hugin looks really neat! I'm going to try it out :)

Windows Live Photo Gallery has quite a good stitcher inside

I believe it can only be used with Windows 7

Hugin is the free equivalent of PTGui. Its engine is based on PanoTools by Helmut Dersch.

I used the Canon program, which can be hard to find, but I switched to Microsoft ICE - also free. Very fast and easy to use.

Jerry,
What stitch program do you use on your new MAC?

I haven't used one yet, but I understand thaqt PSE11 can stitch. I'll probably upgrade to that at some point.
