can iPhoto Photo Stitch?

[rudini]

Hey all,

I'm pretty new to the Macs, but i was just wondering if iPhoto '08 can do Photo Stitching?

Thanks!!!

I haven't upgraded yet, so I don't know if '08 does it, but I've had great success with Canon's Photostitch (which - sadly - is only available with the purchase of a camera). Or, you might try something from here. Good luck.

I'm pretty sure it cannot, since I've never seen it listed as a feature and I know that iPhoto 06 can't. I also (like zebostoneleigh) use Canon Photostitch, which came with my camera. In addition to zebostoneleigh's suggestion you might check out the applications that match a search for photo stitch at Version Tracker.

iPhoto, unfortunately cannot stitch together a panorama; and those programs all suck. They especially suck if you have a crap camera with big barrel distortion and vignetting. Photoshop CS3 is awesome and perfect. Try the trial version from Adobe and compare that to the stuff on that versiontracker list and you might find it worth the money to buy Photoshop CS3.

Yes, I absolutely think that if all I needed to do was stitch together some photos, the $620 price tag for PhotoShop CS3 would be worth it.

What planet are you on? A free, or i don't know.... affordable solution, even one that doesn't do the job as well as Photoshop is the way to go on this one.

I actually have a Canon point&click SD1000 and it does come with the photostitching app....i just had no idea it was mac compatible! I haven't looked at the software since i purchased my iMac (month old!).

Hmmm...thanks guys. I like the Canon program well enough! I just thought iPhoto had it built in...

thanks again!
