Photo Stitching

tamade · 4th September 2003

Was trying out the photo stitching feature of Photoshop Elements 2, didn't seem to work well at all. I'd 3 sets done, 2 using a tripod, 1 on a table in fact, the other on a not so flat stone bench. However, the software can't seems to be able to 'stitch' them together properly.

Anyone with any better recommendations of photo stitching software to use? Or is PS Elements the best around?

My photos seem not to be on the same height level although I used a tripod & put it on flat surface. Anyone could share some hints on how to improve on this area?

Thanks

posted the only set of panoramic photo that i managed to stitch, the other 2 sets were too lousy. think its my shots that are lousy, could be because they couldn't align reasonably vertically.

hosted the photos on my own webserver, so not sure if it could be displayed properly

do give me your comments pls, thanks

ACD Systems produces a software plugin for ACDSee called Photostitcher, it is a PC based software tool that easily creates 360 panos in Quicktime VR format ... very handy very easy to use

next time try taking photos with more overlap, that will greatly facilitate stitching.

tamade · 7th September 2003

ported my photos over to another server instead. sorry for the previous inconvenience

linse · 7th September 2003

I can only see one possible panoramic photo but it is too small to comment whether the stitching is done well. Can you post a larger photo?

tamade · 7th September 2003

sure

there's repetition in the middle of the pic...
