Has anyone here done a panorama

[Blue_In_AK]

using PaintShop Pro X8? I've been watching tutorials, following directions, trying to do everything right, and can't get it to work.

1. Nope. I use PhotoShop for panoramas

Really easy, and seemingly flawless.

2. Well, it looks like it should be easy on PSP, too,

but I'm not finding a particular drop-down menu when the tutorial says there should be one. Maybe I need to get back to tech support again.

It may be relevant that I'm not completely comfortable with layers.

3. Have you tried this?

4. Yes, I've been using that tutorial specifically,

and i just can't seem to get it to work using their directions. I'm pretty sure it's user error, but one thing I do notice specifically is when they say File>New and use a preset, I don't get any presets. It says in the New Image dialog box, you can use the preset image size designed for panoramas by choosing Panorama from the Preset drop-down list. I get no drop-down list. I set it manually to 9 and 3 (arbitrarily) and attempted to drag and drop my pics, but when I do, they just disappear. It's driving me just a little bit crazy.

5. Use Hugin. It's free.

6. Thanks.

I was just thinking I might do something like that. Do you know Microsoft ICE? Is hugin better?

7. I haven't used Windows since the nineties.

Hugin is a good program. Very easy to use

8. I'll give it a shot.

Panorama is the next on my list of "challenges," so I need something, for sure. On the Corel forums, I saw quite a few people wishing for a better photo stitching function on the next version, so hopefully they're paying attention.
