Yep, I just created a "mosaic" of the complete Sabourin River system in Woodland Caribou PP by splicing together a number of captured screen shots.

DD, what do you use for stitching your screenshots together?

For similar stuff in the past, I've occasionally used PTGUI - it's good for some things, but seems to do other unwanted stuff often enough that sometimes it seems more trouble than it's worth.

Lately, I've just been using the "brute force" approach - load a bunch of tif images into Photoshop as separate layers, skew and distort them as necessary to maximize alignment with an underlying topo map layer, then merge the whole bunch into one composite image. That's time-consuming, but at least it gives me full control in keeping the scale consistent with my topo map "projection".

Is Photostitch worth trying? Or Photoshop's built-in stitching algorithm? Or do you have a third, better way that you'd recommend?
