I don't think PS elements is good enough for the stitching part. PS CS3 included a very good photomerge option. The best stitcher is PTGui. A very easy, yet powerfull stitcher is panoramafactory.
If your subject is a panorama without objects in the foreground (a landscape) handheld shots are no problem. Camera on manual, horizon in the middle of the frame and 30-40 % overlap. Try to rotate around the center of the camera (you shouldn't rotate around the axis of your body if possible) Toine On 5/4/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I don't mean the stitching together part; I have PS books that tell me how > to do that.
