I. Introduction

Stitching several images in order to obtain a visual plan covering a wide angle has become a perfectly standard exercise since the arrival of digital cameras. Nevertheless, the process is often more complex than you might think. You need to have spent a few hours in front of the computer screen to begin to fully realize that it’s no simple task to link together more than 2 shots, and that a specialized software is absolutely essential to achieve this.

Adobe has a tool named Photomerge in certain versions of Photoshop, and it’s interesting to compare it with Stitcher. The claims of Photomerge are not as ambitious as Stitcher, but a comparison between the two is essential when looking at the simple assembly of images.
