Hi

Nope, i got myself Photoshop CS3. It's photomerge function is one of the most superbly scripted/programmed automate function ever made. Just compose and make the shot nicely. Then use CS3's photomerge and it'll do the job for you.

If you do not have cs3. Then you have to do it manually in cs2.

And for my guess on how CS3 did the merging and stuffs... I guess its just a good combination of Lens Correction filter + Layer Masking + Brushing over the mask, which was done automatically.

Still, get yourself a Panorama Head(which costs a whoppin' RM900+), then practice with it, then you should be able to make good panoramas and easy stitching.

hope my answers enlightened you.

Yeah, what he said

If you are afraid of those pincushion distortions, well, do try out some 3rd party programs. Like REALVIZ's Sticher Express, and PTgui.

I tried both, still they are nothing on par with cs3's photomerge.
