Satallite image problems

[glowbal 13]

Hello,

I've recently started map creation again. I spend some time finding good tools for creating satallite images, but all decent ones I could find cost money of course. So I decided to make my sat map manualy by making pictures of the area and then pasting into the big picture.

I collected all the data, however I ended up with this result after putting it together:

The arrows pointing down point at matching pieces, while the others pointing up, point at pieces that are not matched. The black line in the middle is the border between them, and the red line on top is, well.. the top of the image (has to be cut still).

Do you recon this is fixable or should I rather start over? And if so, any advise on how to?

Thanks in advance,

Glow

Did you try with the Gimp or Irfanview? remember that in a map you have to get a "binary multiplied square" image... i.e.: 1024x1024, 2048x2048, etc...

If you can use Photoshop CS5 you can apply

and fix all that almost automatically...

Cheers!

I've been using fiji to stitch images together, however my images were made to fit from the start, however you might still find it useful as it has some blending options.

Hugin is another tool to stitch panorama photos together but I guess it could be used for your needs too.

Good luck!

yes. To not to tweak settings on map, I always go for a well known measure: 8192x8192, 5120x5120, 4096x4096, all binary multiplied...

saludos!
