I always do my manually in Adobe Photoshop CS2. I've played with some of those auto stitching programs before, but I like doing the manual work to stitch my scans. Cause from there, I can apply any kind of texture or gradient i need along with color alterations from the mistakes of the scanning process.

My tool in CS2 comprise of these:

  • The brush tools
  • The Smudge tool
  • The Clone Tool
  • The Pen tool
  • The History Brush (Set your history to right after you just joined the 2 images)
You can always use some of the special features on CS2 to help you, but to the naked eye, most users won't see the little details anyway.
