Hi Boris, I use ArcSoft Panorama Maker 3.0 for my stitching. The basic key points for stitching images is to plan ahead how you want to stitch and how many images you will need to get the size you require. This will determine what lens you use. Once you know this you can proceed. Overlap images by at least 25% both vertical and horizontal if you have more than 2 rows. The stitching program takes care of the remainder. When the stitching is complete, I check with Photoshop to make sure all stitching makes are repaired if necessary. Here is a link to an image I took this weekend on another "short trip". http://tripodman.smugmug.com/gallery/65384/1/3136496/Large Also in this gallery is an image of the La Sal Mountains. This was just after sunrise on my way home this morning. This was 12 images that I shot vertical and then rotated each so I could stitch them. I used a Super Takumar 135 screw mount on my *istD. I most always shoot in manual mode so the exposure is the same for all images to be stitched. The original image is 13590x2913 pixels and is 116 MB 24 bit file. I plan on making some BIG enlargements from this image. There are 2 other images I also shot this weekend. One, another waterfal and a Monolith in the desert. Larry from Prescott Comments welcome.
