Stitching scanned photos…..?

[MarkC426]

I have a series of over 100 photos (printed) from the 1990’s of a street survey, which I want to stitch together.
I have laid them out a few years ago on a very long table, and it looks great.

Obviously the street looks nothing like it nowadays, so it’s a nice look back to the past.

I was planning on scanning them on a photocopier.
But not sure what would be the best way of presenting the finished ‘very long’ panorama….?

Is there any software that lets you basically pan along the entire image….?

How big? The iPhone pano feature could work if the images aren’t printed all that big. Setting the camera up on a platform with wheels to keep the camera steady might help. Something made out of LEGO could work for example.
Alternatively scanning all the images as individual photos then stitching them together in LR or another software that offers that.

They are about 6x4 ‘old skool’ photo prints.
I was more curious how they would then be viewed as a side scroll sort of action.
I don’t want them as one pano image, it would be too small to view I think.

Basically looking for a solution where one photo is shown on screen, then scroll along the road, if possible.

Can you use Timelapse software to accomplish your goal?
I take 100’s of image and process them.

What if you arranged the photos as a sequence of slides in presentation software like Keynote or PowerPoint, then put a ve-e-e-r-r-r-y slow Push transition between the slides. You'd have to fiddle around to make the edges match, and pano software might help there.

Maybe combine the two: make a pano from a set of 5 photos, then put each pano in a presentation slide with a Push between them.

Another idea might be video editing software that can do a Ken Burns effect, i.e. a slow pan with an extreme closeup.

Thanks, I was thinking something like that….
I will have a go at the weekend.
