A Nice Photo Stitching Freeware

One of the feature that Photoshop perform much better than others is the photomerge. It is really much superior when compare to the Canon provided freeware PhotoStitch and it really make PhotoStitch looks like one decade ago's software. That's why sometimes it is really hard to survive with Canon's software only.

While I don't have very advance photo edit software on my netbook (as it will run very very slow), I stick to DPP and PhotoStitch to edit photo on my netbook. The problem is that PhotoStitch result is always a problem as it always can't stitch photo properly, so I did a search online and found out this freeware Autostitch.

By looking at the software, it doesn't has very sophisticated looks and design, but the performance and results are really impressive. Below is the example I try it out with a panorama shots from my Swiss Garden Damai Laut trip at Lumut.

If you have the same restriction as me (money and machine. :P) and you really like panorama shots, try this out. :)

Prosumer PnS head to head comparison by PhotoRadar

There has been lots of friends and families asking me about which compact camera to buy, it is always take a long time to explain everything, plus myself bias towards Panasonic Lumix LX3, I think it is best for the professional to have a say on this. There is not a lots of comparison I could find on the web and I think PhotoRadar has did a good job on spilling out the pros and cons of these camera.

Follow the link below to their review (LX3 get 5 stars. :P):
