I posted a query a week ago looking for a good, easy method of stitching photos...get QuickStitch from www.enroute.com...NOW, if you want to make panoramas, or rectilinear photos of tall items such as buildings. The program is dirt simple to use...I made two panoramas within ten minutes of installing the program...and five of that was figuring out how to find the jpg files on my hard drive (I'm NOT a computer genius). The program works flawlessly. Has trouble if images don't have enough overlap...they recommend a 50% overlap.

I sprang for the "Suite", which includes another prgram called QuickStitch 360...makes 360 Quicktime movies from your still photos...haven't tried it, but anticipate similar ease of use.

I've been looking for a simple program like this one for a year or so; I give it four stars out of five.

I'll second this! QuickStitch is an incredible program - we hope to post a mini-review on it soon...

Even more amazing is their program called QuickStitch 360, which I got around to opening for the first time last night. It does a better job of stitching a "regular" panorama than the original program, AND allows you to instantly make QuickTime movies up to 360 degrees. I bought the "suite", which includes both programs, but unless you want to stitch vertical shots of buildings, I think all you need is the 360 version. You can zoom, pan left and right, up and down, in the panoramas. Truly amazing, especially given that it's so simple my dachshund could do it. In fact, I think I'll make a panorama of my dachshund!!!!!
