How can I make high-resolution panoramas by combining still photos?
By taking many different stills with some overlap between them, you can make very wide combined images. This can be done in digital still mode or even progressive-scan video with shots selected after the fact (pan slowly or you’ll have blurs, unless you use a fast shutter speed). To see what TRV900 panoramas can be like, see Peter McLennan’s page. There are several programs which make panoramas from two or more still images. Spin Panorama from pictureworks.com, PhotoVista from livepicture.com, and QuickStitch from enroute.com are three that various TRV900 owners have found to work. PixAround does interactive 360 panoramas for the web (a la Quicktime) using JPEG and a java applet. James Rigg’s Panoguide.com reviews 14 software packages, and has everything you need to know about panorama techniques, and more.
