Dear all,

I would like to create one picture from several pictures of the same object that I took from a microscop.
I work on microscopic elements and I can't take juste one picture of the whole blade so I decided to take several pictures of the same blade. In each picture there is at least one element that still the same from a picture to another because I want to make sure I always have a reference point (or landmark).
Do you know if in GIMP there an automatic way to recreate the blade from all this pictures? Or do I have to take them one by one and reassemble them manually?

I ma sorry if I am not clear...Please tell me if you need precisions or if you don't understand my question.

Thank you for your answer!
Have a great day!

If you have plenty, you might want to use Hugin to stitch your photos together, it's a dedicated software to make panorama and so (Free and Open source as well), there is a tutorial on their website too Wink

Thank you very much for your quick answer. I'll try Hugin!
But do you know if this is possible with GIMP?

There are plugins that align layers, Ofnuts has one from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-too...s/scripts/ look for ofn-layer-aligner.zip dated 2016-07-12

Unzip, put it in your Gimp user plugins folder. There is probably a help file in the zip as well.

Best working with two layers at a time, just keep merging and adding layers but as an example

Edit: always better if you give Gimp version and OS
