Thanks for that. I'm pretty impressed with the seams (or lack of them), and it's far more sophisticated-looking than other stuff I've seen with earlier versions of PhotoShop. I guess I need look no further. Good work! Thanks for that.

You’ll slap yourself for “axing” when I tell you how I made the above panorama.

  1. Open all the files in Photoshop CS3
  2. Choose File–>Automate–>Photomerge…
  3. Click “Add all open files”
  4. Leave “Layout” on “Auto”
  5. Click “OK”

I've been searching for a decent-but-simple & cheap-or-free panorama tool for the Mac, along the lines of Autostitch for Windows. Any ideas?
