How to combine images?

[blinky]

i went out tonight and got some (not very good) shots of the moon with my ToUCam. I now want to stitch them together and am wondering what is the best application to acompish this? I have downloaded a couple that I found by googling but they dont seem to be any good. the only promising one was one from ACDSEE but after downloading the trial of ACDSEE and installing the plugin I cannot find the menu option to enable it!!

"Imerge" is the best image stitcher in my book.

Blinky,

iMerge is just about the defacto standard for simple image stiching applications. It easy to use and certainly has been more than good enough for any of my requirements.

You can download it from here..

Thanks for that folks, downloaded the proggie and it works a treat. I forgot when taking my moon shots to stick to the same exposure etc on all the shots, so it's not perfect but a decent start!

Hi Blinky...seems to be quite a few shots there ? Im sure imerge can sort out the diff in shades as well ???

[blinky]

Can it??? I did not see any options for that, will need to dig around

[Jamie]

The option is called "Feathering".

There you go !

Nicely done! Although, I'm a little strange when it comes to mosaics, I did like your first attempt, I like the patchwork effect...

"Strange" is that another term for "womens prerogative"

Not this time, theres absolutely nothing wrong in seeing things differently
