Microsoft ICE (Image Composite Editor)

There is free software called Microsoft ICE (Image Composite Editor) that combines photos together, as long as each photo has part of another photo in it.

Here is a link to where you can download it:

Thanks to Peder for turning me onto this software.

Below are my first composite images from the Mt. Whittier area:

Wow, did you upgrade your camera or what! Great pix!

Where's the TR?

I did get a new little point and shoot camera, almost the same as the one I had before.

Since Adam Schneider did a TR of the Whittier loop the week prior, I didn't feel writing a TR would have has much of an impact. Plus I was tired and time was limited.

But man, I am impressed by that free ICE software. The pics get stitched together so seamlessly, and with the curvature almost removed completely.

I've been using ICE for a while and I've always been pretty happy with it.

Fabulous software! I'm using it all the time.

Have you tried uploading any to Photosynth yet? I have a few that turned out alright there.

Credit goes to Karl, who told me about MS ICE!

One trick I use: After taking several or many pictures to stitch together, I take a picture of my legs (!). That way, when I go through my pictures, I know that there is a series of pictures for MS ICE just before the "leg" photo.

I like that idea! Sometimes I really puzzle at where they start and stop. (Maybe I should shoot a left leg and right leg shot to bookmark the ends!
