A quick question about panoramas

[AlexW]

How do you guys and gals stitch your photos together? Do you do it yourself in Photoshop or use dedicated software.

If you use dedicated software could you recommend some for me.

Thanks

i usually do it by hand, if im feeling lazy i use the automate function on PS CS3

Autostitch is a good free one

What I find is the output on the default settings is a little low quality. What I tend to do is run the stitch on default settings to quickly see if it has promise. If it does then what I do is re-run it using a scale of 100% and highest jpeg quality. This takes a bit longer but producing a nice high quality stitch!
