All the "landscape" setting on your compact camera does is a letterbox crop. It does not create visual data which it did not capture. If you want more of a panorama "picture", you are going to have to take more shots for SW stitching. If you want less of a narrow strip effect, take the shots with the camera oriented in the "portrait" or vertical position, and take enough overlapped shots to capture the panorama you want. You will not be able to suck more data out of thin air with software. This OP smells strongly of troll. -- Regards, Savageduck

I interpreted it correctly. He wants a Siskerized image capture system. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida

He obviously wants to widen the landscape beyond the images he has taken. If you don't have anything useful to say to him then don't say it. HTH -socket |
