<hr />
<div>== What do I need to get started ==<br />
==== A decent computer with any of the following Operating Systems: Linux, Windows or a Macintosh. ====<br />
Stitching panoramas is quite CPU intensive, so having a decent computer with enough memory is sure to be in your favor.<br />
See the [[Hardware]] page for more info.<br />
==== A camera ====<br />
A simple camera is enough to get started. If it's not a digital one, you can scan your images or you can have your photo store digitize them and put them on compact disc.<br />
If you want better quality, more comfort or more degrees of view you can step up to a camera with a wide angle lens or even a system that shoots a full 360 degrees panorama in one go. Visit the [[Hardware]] page for more information..<br />
<br />
==== software ====<br />
There are a lot of different software solutions to assemble panoramas these days, but we focus on the panorama tools.<br />
They are free to use (under GPL license), very flexible and will give you the most professional results.<br />
See the [[software]] page for more info.<br />
==== A scenery and some light ====<br />
You'll probably manage to find such a spot on your own.<br />
==== A basic understanding of the techniques ====<br />
