As long as you have enough points tied together, it works fine. The more points the better tho. It has been updated several times since I used it last so it may be better or worse now. I have taken as many as 30 pictures and stitched them together. I had three rows of 10. It was of a park and it looked great when done. It took a couple tries to get it just right but it did a good job and that was a good size project. Doing 4 or 5 pictures is pretty easy. Lots of overlap is the key tho. I don't know of anything else that can do this. GIMP and such might could depending on if the image needed some subtle stretching or something to fit together. My advice, hugin is likely your best bet. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words! Miss the compile output?
