When I saved it to the Desktop it came out to 35 MB but it didn't take that long to load on the page??

Eric - if you set it as desktop it is probably saving it as a bitmap. The pic is a jpg which is smaller.

The jpg is 8087x1512 and 1.73 megs using 20% compression.

Nicely done. Keep them coming.

Very Cool!

What do you use to stitch them together? My favorite is Panavue Image Assembler (you can find it on the web, but not free). I bought an Epson 1280 printer last year so I can do 13 inch wide by many feet long prints (on roll paper) - results are great to show off in the office, but of course you have to commit to the cost of paper and ink.

I love the pictures, ckelly. I'm just getting into the digital camera world. And having so much fun with everything.

I use photoshop for stitching the pix, its by far the best tool out there for photo post processing.

Very, very nice! :yes:

Photoshop has great tools for many things, but it falls short in the stitching department (latest version may be improved). PIA creates the proper distortion so that continuous lines meet without a break in angle, also blends the componnent pix by a controllable amount at the join line, and color matches the pix.
