Microsoft Image Composite Editor:An application to stitch multiple source images into a seamless panorama.

Microsofts' Image Composite Editor is a free application for stitching several pictures together into one panoramic photograph.It is an advanced panoramic image stitcher. You shoot a set of overlapping photographs of a scene from a single location, and Image Composite Editor creates a high-resolution panorama incorporating all your images at full resolution. Then save your stitched panorama in a wide variety of formats, from common formats like JPEG and TIFF to multi-resolution tiled formats.

The program is very easy to use. The user needs to pick at least two images of the same object which are then processed automatically by the image editor.If the software program was unable to compute the new panoramic image,an error message will pop up. If the process is successful the new image will be created

You can also export the image  in various formats including jpeg, tiff, Adobe Photoshop psd and the HD Photo Image format. This editor is a nice tool that can combine multiple images of the same object into one larger image of the object. This is great for objects that are to large to fit in one picture taken with the digital camera but also for detailed images that should be combined.
