Here's one made up of 18 shots, taken very quickly-n-dirtily with a little 3.2 megapixel camera. It's been resampled to 5665 x 942 pixels (originally 11329 x 1885).

Neat feature. It works pretty well on photos that have strong linearities but craps-out on more diffuse images. I just tried it with some panchromatic aerial photos and it was able to correctly stitch only 2 of 5 photos in a series. If I have time I'll try it on CIR imagery. I'm betting it will do a better job with that.

FYI, the software I ordinarily use to do that costs about $15K with a huge annual maintenance fee (mine also orthorectifies which is compeletely unnecessary in the Photoshop world).

What software is that, Bot? Are you guys still working with film or is it all digital imagery? I remember going on a walk thru at NPIC in Washington a few years ago when they were looking for proposals to convert their huge lab to all digital. I can't imagine how many terabytes of storage it takes them to keep all that stuff on. The annual budget for keeping their media current must be staggering.

Boy, that's pretty cool-looking Eskimo. Did you ever see any of David Hockney's work? He was using Polaroids and regular color prints, but the effect was quite nice.

Does Autostitch correct the distortion from each photo to make them blend together better? It appears that it did.

I work mostly film/optical stereoscope and digital cameras or digital scanned film within Lieca's Imagine software for IP, georeferencing & raster GIS. Once rectified, we shift to ESRI's ArcMap. We are beginning to work with LIDAR & hyperspectral airborne imaging.

Most of what we work on is habitat mapping. Our major consumers are: scientists in other disciplines, resource managers & policymakers. We do some other work on other systems that is less useful to most people.

OMG!!! I've processed a roll or two of Panatomic X. IIRC, we did them in the bathroom, four at a time, 4-5 hours at a stretch, every evening for about a month. Thousands and thousands of exposures.

How about Infa-Red film, I used to shoot that with a 25 red wratten filter many many moons ago developed in rodinal. At one point I had nitrate negs my dad shot...now thats old school for sure.

Nitrate?! Yeah, That's pre-Safety Film. You don't want to store THAT stuff around the house . . . unless you're hoping your house will burn down.
