Photo Stitcher: Combine And Merge Photos On Win/Mac

The Problem Of Merging Photos

Not many of us are what you would call 'professional photo editors'. However, many people do have the need to merge or combine photos for personal projects or business purposes. For example you may need to merge photos next to each other to create a diorama style banner for your social media pages. Having quality banners can definitely impact how your company or page is perceived and so the ability to freely manipulate photos like this can become essential. If this sounds like you do not worry, you do not need to learn Photoshop or hire a professional for your images. There are better, more convenient and less expensive options available out there, you just need to know where to look!

Photo Sticher: The Solution

One of these options is a program called Photo Stitcher. It is incredibly efficient at combining and merging photos of different types, shapes and sizes. It is the brainchild of a company known as Vertexshare who specialize in photo editing software. You will be able to find the program when visiting www.vertexshare.com/photo-stitcher-desktop/ and will be greeted by a very professional looking web front. Too often online program companies take little to no care in designing a high quality web page which can often impact how reliable said company is perceived. However with Vertexshare you will find no such problem. The interface is extremely easy to maneuver and the downloadable program is very conveniently placed at the top of their page. An extra bonus in terms of functionality is the fact that Photo Stitcher is available to download for both Mac and Windows users, both of which are again found right at the top of their web page.

How Does It Work?

If computer programs often make you feel like you are out of your depth then you will be pleasantly surprised by Photo Stitcher. Simply click the 'Download For Win or Mac' button found on the web page, save the application and follow the on-screen instructions that take you through the installation process. A very pleasant surprise was the speed at which the program downloads. The installation process itself only takes a couple of minutes and then you are greeted with the photo editor itself. Unlike programs such as Photoshop the layout is simple and streamlined without loosing any of its functionality or aesthetics.

The program works on a 'drag and drop' system allowing you to simply add your photos to the program without any complicated importing. Then you have several options available to you such as whether you want the photos placed vertically or horizontally and if you want to crop the photos, Vertical stitching is becoming ever more important as we optimize content for mobile devices rather than desktops and stitching photos like this is reliably suited for things such as the scrolling screen shot. You can also change the order of the photos by simply clicking and dragging them into a different positions. the user interface is so intuitive that the learning curve is extremely small. There is no need to watch complicated online tutorials or the need to hire a professional to show you how to do it properly, Photo Stitcher bears most of the load for you. Other cool features of the program include: adjusting the space size inside and outside the individual photos and adding useful annotations such as arrows, shapes and watermarks.

Alternatives

Though among the best, Photo Stitcher by Vertexshare is not the only photo merging or combination tool out there. Another possible option would be PhotoJoiner. This program can be accessed through www.photojoiner.net and is also simple to use when placed against programs such as Photoshop. Unlike Photo Stitcher though this is not a downloadable program but rather an in-browser application. For many people this may be more convenient as it saves storage space on their device. However, this feature does limit the functionality of the program as it requires a s steady internet connection to work optimally. Nevertheless, you can join and merge photos with relative ease and the program is also free, making it a much better alternative then using mainstream photo editing software that can cost up to $500.

A Better Way

So to conclude, it is fair to say that there are great options available online for those looking to join and merge photos together. Whether for personal or professional reasons it is always good to save money and work efficiently and the programs we have discussed here today will help you do exactly this.
