I am at a fortunate stage in life where function is more im****tant than
price. Not that I want to spend when I don't have to. I have tried hand
stitching and the biggest issue I have when is seamless blending. I use
CS3,
but for panoramics I use some program that came free from Nikon, called
Arcsoft. It's main drawback is that my version only works with JPEGs. My
workaround is that when I am shooting for panaramics I shoot in JPEG,
stitch
and then do my thing in PS.
If I am shooting to simulate large format, then the conversion to JPEG
could
leave artifacts that would defeat the purpose of the simulation.
