How did you make that panarama?

By the way, i'd suggest going to the waterfall, you'd love it, at the end of the BD road.

datruth, a lot of screenshots and a lot of time fiddling with them in paintshop.

Photoshop?

How do you fiddle?

Like is there a tutorial on how to make those, i'd really be interested on making one.

It's just taking multiple screenshots and piecing them together seamlessly.

actually it is more like "seemlessly". it does take a bit of work and some resizing because sometimes the screenies don't line up perfectly.

There are also some programs that try to do that with a more or less automatic process.
One of them might be Panorama Maker, by ArcSoft.

http://www.arcsoft.com/products/panoramamaker/

There's even a trial version that lasts for 15 days.
Might be worth for anyone trying to do those big postcards to give it a try, specially if they're reluctant when they hear "Photoshop" or "GIMP".
Are there any MoonSeekers left?
