Does GC 8 have the ability to stitch two images together (such as in a panorama, or in my case, vertically)?  If not, does GC 9? Doing this manually is tedious and challenging. I see a lot of software on the market made just for this task, but given that I already have GC 8, I'd much rather go with what I know.  I'd consider springing for an upgrade to GC 9 rather than buying other software if the feature in question was available in 9 but not in 8.Thanks for your time!Batshua

Hi Batshua, you can try the stitching application Hugin. It's a full featured panorama stitcher but usually works great for the casual user who just wants to stitch a few overlapping images. You can try if the basic assistant based workflow works for you. See this tutorial to get an idea of the basic concepts (control points etc.): http://hugin.sourceforge.net/tutorials/ ... s/en.shtml Full documatation is here: http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin It's Open Source and available from http://hugin.sourceforge.net/ The latest build for Mac OS X (version Hugin-2014.0.0.dmg as of 2014-10-21) is reported to have some problems with 10.10 (Yosemite) but usually works great if you're still on 10.6 to 10.9. If that latest official build doesn't behave on your Mac (or you have troubles with the new user interface) I'd recommend hugin-mac-2012.0.0.dmg (as of 2012-11-06) which is available here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/f ... in-2012.0/ An also highly recommended (but commercial, e.g. shareware) alternative would be www.ptgui.com Cheers, Carl Batshua bat Yehonatan batshua@gmail.com [gcmac] wrote on 08.03.15 02:07: > > Does GC 8 have the ability to stitch two images together (such as in a > panorama, or in my case, vertically)?

A commercial but a bit cheaper solution (than PTgui) is DoubleTake. It's got a simple and straightforward interface and has served me well. http://echoone.com/doubletake/ Best of wishes, /Per 2015-03-08, 10:53, skrev Carl von Einem einem@gmx.de [gcmac]: >Hi Batshua, > >you can try the stitching application Hugin.
