The Photo Stitcher

[Jay123210599]

Which photo stitching software and/or tool that can stitch both vertically and horizontally from multiple images (including image sequences) perfectly without losing any quality?

Lots of photo editing software that will stitch horizontally, not too many will do vertically, but you can search on google for "photo stitcher". I found millions but didn't have the time to check any out for you.

Did you mean simple placement of horizontal and vertical "tiles" of same dimension images; or a real photo stitching application ?

A photo stitching application usually involves images with overlaps and distortion - e.g. you multiple photos taken a camera on roughly the same subject, while moving around . The software would adjust for differences in exposure, perspective, warping between the "seams" - this is what is usually referred to as "photo stitching"

Simple placement of tiles wouldn't perform any other operations, it would just position the images.

I don't know of any stitching app that does what you want. But there must be some out there somewhere. Very difficult to do if photos are done with different exposures. Panoramic shots are usually done with the same camera but you move it a little each shot horizontally and the software puts it together. It is a panoramic setting on the camera. I never tried to do it vertically but you could try it and see what you get.

You could also do it by taking separate photos horizontally and then then separate photos vertically then you put them together yourself in Photoshop or equiv. Like poisondeathray suggests. But you won't be happy with the results and it takes a lot of work to do it correctly.

I remember quite a few years ago I would make photo collages and I would keep the files .bmp until I was finally satisfied and then I would save them as .jpeg The program I used was Irfanview. I have forgotten how I did it after all this time but I do remember I was able to both vertically and horizontally combine pictures.

None of the photostitchers are great in automatic mode, and none of them are absolutely seamless for everything - it depends on the specific images , their complexity and their range of differences. Often you have to make manual corrections, adjust control points, use masks . Sometimes for easy shots, they work ok with 1 click. YMMV
