Making panorama photos with any digital camera

Step 8Using GIMP (free)

Using GIMP (free)
GIMP is a free graphics editing program, I don't use it very often and there may be quicker ways of doing some of these things. There are plugins available which do part of the stitching process automatically. All you need to do is the fine tuning in the end.

These instructions show the old fashioned manual way using GIMP 2.6.3. Follow the instructions as for Adobe Photoshop, but use the following commands/shortcuts.

1. Use File > Open as layers to open all the photographs that will form your panorama.
2. Resize the canvas with Image > Canvas size
3. Right click the image in the Layers panel and select 'Add layer mask'. You can select the mask by clicking on it.
4. Use the Blend Tool (L) to create the gradient
5. Fine tuning can be done using the Paintbrush tool (P)
