Great pic was looking for something like this to frame and put on my wall, could I get a copy of this pic?

That is a great pano. As a result of this post I downloaded Hugin and tried it out on a couple of pano sequences to compare with PS CS3. First off you have to read at least a little bit of the manual to get anywhere. But that isn’t a negative. I found on the first sequence where PS had done a pretty good job that Hugin didn’t do as good a job. It was a street scene where a partial image of a car was rendered in the final result. That may of course be down to my inexperience with the prog. The second sequence was one that had fooled PS because I couldn’t tell PS where to put some of the control points. Hugin did a great job of that one.

So it’s a keeper. But as PS is so much faster to set up, if not in actual processsing, I will in future try PS first and then Hugin if it fails.

Thanks for the tip.

That IS nice, Mis! I gotta try that some day. I want you to know that I root for the Sox religiously (but only when they play the Yankees ;~)

I have not tried a pano either. I wonder what a street pano would look like

I have yet to try out a panorama on digital… I miss the feature that was on my canon point and shoot film camera… where you just slide a little lever into “panorama” and there you go!

Yowsa, that’s a nice pano. The Stanley sign on the right is highly appropriate. I’ve yet to try out my p’shop upgrade properly, but I’d been thinking about trying Hugin too…

That’s awesome! Thanks also for the info on the software goodies – I’ve been wanting to experiment with digital editing since I’ve come into the 20th century age of photography but just couldn’t see spending the $699 for Adobe for my minimal needs.
