Yes. That image is 10,951 by 8,603 pixels -- very large. But I use a substantial overlap; so it's not nearly as large as 14 full frames side by side. I used Photoshop CS5 to combine the frames. But, the fully automatic stitching did not work very well when all the primary 14 frames were thrown into the program at once. What I found worked best is to first stitch the bottom row that has the lake in it. With this row I leveled each frame prior to stitching them. I used the ruler tool with its "straighten" option, and used the shoreline of the lake as a guide. Once the bottom row frames were level, the PS automatic stitching, set to cylindrical, worked very well. I next stitched the top row by itself using the PS automatic system. The result needed some work and was then manually stitched to the bottom row. Finally the sun frame was added manually. Obviously the sun was *much* brighter than anything else. So, the relatively values of the print are highly compressed in that region. Thank you all for your comments. Regards, Paul www.PaulRoark.com
