I was playing with Windows Live Photo Gallery & Microsoft Image Composite Editor when I came across Microsoft’s HD View. This new technology allows you to view High Resolution Pictures & Panoramas with fluid ease. In fact, I found it so cool that after looking at examples, I decided to try my own hands on it. So, I dug few panoramic images in my archive that I had taken back in 2007 during my Sarpass trek of YHAI. And here is the result. Tell me what you think of it.

The total size is around 3.5 Megabytes so don’t worry about it. The updated version has more depth as  the stitch is created from ~20 original images of 2048px X 1536px. The total dimension of final image was 7458px X 1974px @ 14.04 MP which was then cropped down to 7298px X 1075px @ 7.48 MP giving a total size of ~11MB. Now that’s something to worry about if you have limited bandwidth.
