Long has a pretty intensive work-out of two photo-stitching solutions in this post: Windows Live Photo Gallery gives leading commercial panoramic stitching software run for its money - istartedsomething . Thanks for the post, Long!
The ability to create a panorama out of a set of photos was released in Windows Live Photo Gallery and - looking at most of the blogging around the WLPG - has been one of the more enjoyed fun-features to the Gallery.
It can result in some delightful (and really, really big) photos along the way. Looks like the feature does reasonably well for Long, though the occasional seam-mismatch or drop happens. I personally haven't tried stitching a seam of the same photo over and over again to see what happens, though I know former DMX'er Jordan did it as a way to make a stiched photo and appear in two places at the same time.
