Greetings

Take your pick of the flavour of plugin from the above - whatever its called I can't find any basic instruction on how to use it with the gimp.

Is there a really simple starter documented somewhere that doesn't immediately wander off into the Windows PhotoShop version of the plugin and actually has stuff in it that relates to the gimp?

All I want to do is quickly and simply stick a few pix together with a bit more style than printing and then using Sellotape :-))

A tutorial that doesn't launch straight into the positioning of controlpoints would be really good - can't find them documented anywhere either!

While there is possibly no pluign to make this automatically - i.e. finding parts of one image that matches in the other image, the GIMP interface gives you the possiblity to make this in a pretty straightforward way:

1- open the images you want to join; 2 - create a new image, with a large enough size to handle the image syou want to put together. 3 - drag each image, picking it's thumbnail on the layers dialog box to the newly created image - they will show up as independet layers there;
4 - drag the images around on the larger image. Give them some transparency while draging to make parts of the images match with others bellow them.

The panorama tools gimp plug-in is probably not what you need. There are a couple of other simpler gimp plug-ins that do panoramas:

Pandora http://www.shallowsky.com/software/pandora/

phfluuh http://www.acc.umu.se/~janlert/phfluuh/

Hugin is a panorama stitcher gui tool that is developing fast and is very nearly usable; it should be relatively easy to use, though it *will* involve picking control points:
