Canon Users - How can I use StitchAssist if I don't have a Canon cable to connect it to my computer?

[simms]

I bought a Canon S200 online, but it came OEM. It doesn't have the cable. The camera itself is fine, but I'd like to know how I can use StitchAssist if I don't have the cable. Is there an app that can do it for you? it seems like you just cut off a portion of the previous photo and attach it together. Any help please?

I have a Canon D60 - and while it has a cable, I never use it. I don't know what "Stitch Assist" does - but I use the panoramic software that stitches multiple images together into one - provided you take them with about a 50% overlap.

You also need to pivot the camera around the same point if possible. It takes practice. I usually shoot panoramics for stitching from left to right with a 50% overlap in each. I do that be looking at an object in the center, and then as I pan to the right, I place that at the left edge. Then repeat the process as many times as it takes. The same procedure can be used in verticals.

I currently use Jasc's Aftershot for processing software. It has built in to it the stitching software developed by Enroute (now defunct.) It is a simple procedure where you drag and drop frames into the matrix and then left the software create the composite based on your preserences for perspective or cylindrical view.

This is my 5th digicam - and I have been doing this for about 7 years now, and after the first camera, have never connected the cameras to any computer. I use media reader/writers inserted in a USB port.

There are other software packages that will stich pan shopts - do a Google search for Panoramic Stitching.

Are you talking about the usb cable to get your pictures on the comp? I don't think you can do it any other way besides getting a flash card reader and connecting it to your computer.
