It is certainly possible to do what you say. You might find it would help to use the pandora plugin www.shallowsky.com/software/pandora/ I strongly recommend the book Beginning Gimp: From Novice to Professional by Akkana Peck. It is an excellent comprehensive introduction to gimp and contains a section on stitching panoramas, which will tell you what to do. > > > Thanks, > > Brad Pears > Information Technology > True North Log Homes > br...@truenorthloghomes.com > (705)-645-3096 > www.truenorthloghomes.com > _______________________________________________ > Gimp-user mailing list > Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU > https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
