Travelgirl;

I just got back from a ten day tour of Colorado and Utah and as always found myself overwhelmed by the scenery. The Aspens were marvelous, the red rock canyons equally amazing, and as I was photographing one of the canyons, I looked over to my traveling companion and suggested that I could take the three photos and scan them into my computer and knit them together.

Then an older man started chuckling at me. It was a friendly chuckle. I couldn't tell if he thought it was impossible or knew that it could be done from experience.
The day after I got home I had my pictures being developed and went out to pick up a $99 Microsoft product called "Picture It Pro" which seemed to be a good cheap substitute for Adobe Photo Shop at $600 and demanding a Pentium 4 processor.

While waiting for the photos to get completed I experimented with the software and discovered that Britney Spears could be in any of my photographs. All I had to do was digitize them - scan them in, and make a "cutout" of the person that seemed appropriate to the photo and then stick them together.

After the photos from the trip came back I found a way, using the software to take three or four photographs of a scene and stick them together creating a super wide angle view of the subject without having the distortion of a super wide angle lens.

Anyway, to make a long story long, I used this software for post #28, took me about 10 minutes.

And, as to "some day I'll figure out how to do stuff like that,..." I hope I'm giving you a good start. And, I'm sure that you are smart enough to do it. If I was, then pretty much anybody can!

Glad you liked it.
