I used to use Canon's Easy Photo Print software for stitching photos and never had any problems with it. However, my Canon printer eventually died and I now have Brother and HP printers and the Canon software won't work with them.
I've tried PhotoPad and the preview looks fine but when I say OK, it says there aren't enough matching points. Is there any way to over ride that and say "do it anyway" or is there a way to manually align the two photos? If it can get the preview right why can't it get the stitching right (or close enough)?
