Most importantly, it's free, although it only allows you to stithc JPEGs and not TIFFs. You can download it <a href="http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~mbrown/autostitch/autostitch.html" title="Autostitch Page" rel="nofollow">over here</a>. <strong>med</strong>: Thanks for your compliments :) ah wells I hope I will have the time next weekend to pay the temple a visit! I used to go there quite frequently last time. I've got blog friends who've went there to take awesome photos. Thanks for the suggestion too. <strong>Ivy</strong>: Thank you. For some reason local developers seem to be more than happy to built new malls and expand current ones into gigantic compounds. Midvalley has got into Phase 2, called The Gardens, One Utama at Damansara nearly doubled its area by contructing a brand new wing across the road a few years ago. And now we have The Curve, Pavilion in the downtown area. Woah, that's surely too much! <strong>ingSiang</strong>: RAW photos are defintiely harder to preview because of their larger size, but the format makes post processing way easier than JPEGs because it doesn't use a lossy compression algorithm, unlike JPEG. <strong>vkeong</strong>: Thank you! <strong>Rei</strong>: Hey it's okay, you're really busy lately and it's not fair to expect comments in return of comments :D the blogosphere shouldn't work like that. I'm sorry to hear that you might be closing your blog, but at least you still have a LJ around :) letti: Yeap it is definitely an awesome panorama stitching programme.

I heard that the camera RAW file is quite cumbersome and most importantly, gigantic, so many photographers still prefer to shoot in JPEG mode. I've only bookmarked one tutorial, it's over <a href="http://www.nill.cz/index.php?set=tu1" title="Pseudo HDR Tutorial" rel="nofollow">HERE</a>. I didn't exactly follow the steps - I just learnt that by dodging and burning parts of the photo you can artificially increase the dynamic range of it and thus, having a pseudo-HDR effect. ingSiang: Thanks.

Or send me an email? I am a bit lazy to dig around the web for it, LoL.
