Tip of The Week
Do you need to stitch photos together to create panoramas? Well, these days its really simple to do stuff like this. I know some cameras even have a built function to stitch photos together.However, one of the best ways I've found to stitch photos is to use a photo editing program. Some of the better ones are Adobe Photoshop Elements and Microsoft Digital Image Suite. You will also find some custom stitching tools in the market, such as PanaVue ImageAssembler and Panorama Factory - both of these are very good as well.
