Try using a free program called autostitch.

You can download it he

Thanks for that Oviedo.

It seems to work incredibly well with three of the shots but on a quick
try
it didn't manage all five together.
Will it handle more than three pictures in the demo version?

I will try it again in the morning and try joining the two quick results
that I have at the moment.

I have been able to stitch 8 photos with it. Not sure what the limit is,
but yes, the demo version will handle more than 3.

I have found that it is not "perfect" with all my shots, but I think most of
it has to do with how much overlap there is between the photos. It does
take some practice to figure out how to take photos that will stitch
together nicely. I've found it works well if you have at least 1/4 overlap
between photos.

You can get it to stitch some photos together that at first try wouldn't
stitch by making an adjustment in the Options. In the center of the window
is a Matching Options section. Change Min dim (pixels) from 400 to either
100 or 200. I'm not sure what all the other items in options do because I
haven't found a user's guide. One thing I have found is all the photos must
be the same size.

Experiment and have fun with it. Can't beat the price!
