Vacation is over but there is one more iPhone photo app I wanted to write about. Actually there are two apps that work beautifully together and allow you to create great looking photo “experience”. I learned about both from Larry and have been enjoying them ever since.

The two apps are AutoStitch (here’s Larry’s review) and PixRemix (here’s Larry’s review) and they are awesome.

Let’s take a look at what you can do with them when you use them together.

The first thing you want to do when using AutoStitch is take a series of overlapping pictures. In this case I started as far as I could to my left and then…

…kept snapping. I did a pass from left to right and the a second one with the iPhone pointed a bit lower than it had been the first time.

You then start the AutoStitch app and select the pictures you took from the the camera roll and add them to the “photos to stitch” section. it is a simple process that merely requires tapping the images you want. And if you make a mistake you can simple clear the field and start over.

When you are done you tap “Stitch” and wait while the app works its “magic”.

And “magic” it is. The app automatically pulls information from each of the pictures, lines them up appropriately and “stitches” them back together.

Depending upon the number of images you used it can take from one to a few minutes to finish.

The end result is a panorama that, because the various pictures to not fit together perfectly, will have some ragged edges. This is no problem since the app not has a cropping utility built right into it. Crop the image, save it to the camera roll and you get something like this.

All on your iPhone.

And while that’s impressive in its own right by also using one of Larry’s other finds, PixRemix, you can turn the one picture into something truly special.

PixRemix lets you create a collage, a slideshow or a Pan and Zoom show. They all work well but the Pan and Zoom feature is really neat… especially with a panorama.

You can take new pictures or use ones that are already on the iPhone In this case we want to select “Photo Library” and pull up the panorama we just created.

Tapping the screen puts in the first of nine location keys. If you then tap on the “1″you will be invited to use the iPhone’s multitouch to zoom up on the picture. (More on that in a sec.)

If you tap on another part of the screen the next number will appear on the screen with a line from the first to the second.

You can then keep adding numbers- up to nine in total.

That will take care of the “Pan” part of the equation. If you finished the project at this point the app would render a “vide” that moved from one part of the picture to the next. By adding the next step, the “zoom” portion, however, you create something really unique.

Tap on any of the numbers and you will get this screen. From here you can remove the point or zoom in on that section of the picture. Keep in mind that the more you zoom the lower the image quality will be. That isn’t always a bad thing but you may want to limit the zooming to a manageable amount.

In the end you will have something like this… Hit “preview” and you’ll see the neat effect it has created.

The preview will let you get a sense of which, if any points need to be removed or reworked.

Hint- I have found that it works best if the first and third point are close to the center of the image and not zoomed at all. The end result looks something like this…
