It surprises me to find out that Microsoft has been offering a free photo stitching utility for quite some time. And though its quality cannot be matched by photoshop or auto stitch, it is free, and surprisingly fast. While it takes up to 30mins to merge 8 hi res photos from my 550D (5184×3456) in photoshop, it took less than a minute in Microsoft’s Image Composite Editor. Oh, and did I mention that its free?
