Hi all
Does anyone know of an image stitching program for the Mac.
EnRoute PowerStitch for PCs has just been dropped and a mac version never
appeared out of beta, are there any alternatives available?
Thanks in anticipation.

Also, is it better to make
this adjustment at the scanning stage in Vuescan, or in the post scan stage

Vuescan doesn't offer a colour-managed preview, so cannot be relied upon to give
results which will look the same in PS. Best to do the adjustments in PS, with 16bit
output
I don't know if you will be able to find it here but George Lepp wrote about
an image stitching program in Outdoor Photographer a while back. His site is

I've just started shooting with slides again and was thinking, boy, this
local Kodak developer is clean! Then my last roll was a mess. Towards the
end of the roll, I tried wiping the slides with a camel hair brush before
blowing it off, and that helped a lot. Until this roll, the blower was the

Richard,
I had poor results using a stitching program called "Vista." Only tried
it a couple of times; maybe others have done better with it. Its easy to
use, but gave me rather crude results.
I had very good luck using Photoshop for stitching. My method is to open

I think you can use a tool like Panorama Factory.
I have found Photoshop too long and hard to manage the tricks of

Thanks for the detailed reply James. I was asking the question for a friend

I have the ArtixScan 4000t and also the Epson 1270. I scan the slides always

Adobe RGB. Some time ago, by accident, I saved an image in sRGB. I have been

Anyone know about this one - looks pretty new. It's marketed as an Internet

to do that. for the price it looks really good
It sounds like your processor used a dirty roller type processor. The
scratches sound like they come from dirt that has embedded itself in the
rollers of the processor. Use of a dip and dunk type of processor typically
avoids this problem; but most labs use the roller type processor. Unless
