More Programs for Windows Technical Preview, Part Three

This is the 'Superman' of image splicers, and with this one installed, you can forget the rest, because you've now got the very best available, and this comes from Microsoft Research. Before you install it, however, you need a couple of other programs: http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/  and also this one:Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable. And then you can go to this website for Image Composite Editor.

Here, it has just finished a vertical splice of two images, and has just performed an automatic cropping of those, to trim off the uneven edges.

This is the finished result, reduced in size by Irfan's great program Irfanview to fit the screen. In its full size, this image is a bit too large for all of it to be seen on screen at one time.....

And these are just a few of the programs that I consider essential to a properly dressed Windows operating system. I'm pleased to report that Windows Technical Preview runs them all very nicely, and I suggest you try them for yourself. Windows is good, right out of the box, but it's a lot better when fluffed up a little with a few essentials from the web to give it that something extra. Unlike beautiful girls, computer operating systems don't look good naked.
