Panoramic landscapes make for beautiful pictures. There is nothing like the feeling of relaxation and tranquility is achieved by looking more vivid images of sweeping wilderness, less the hassle of actually get there. Using a digital camera, it is possible to stitch images to simulate the effects of an expensive filter landscape. After I bought my digital camera (a Nikon Coolpix 4300) and set it to work under Linux, get the software to stitch images and was my next task.
The Nikon Coolpix 4300, like most digital cameras come with a CD of software to perform rudimentary image stitching. Unfortunately, the software is not Linux. Through Google, it was difficult to find something that works in Linux, until I remembered The GIMP. There are two ways to use the GIMP to create a panoramic photo, easy and difficult. How difficult is to build layers of different photos, edit filter masks and transparency of the layer and play around with the layers by hand.
