I'd like to use it to see if it would make a HDR photo (take a pic with low ev, mid ev, and high ev) Since i have an N95 I have access to a bit more camera-riffic features.

Something I'd see if they could do is just as you said, use some kinda image mapping to get a rough estimate where each picture is so it could smartly adapt them when combining them.

Sounds great.

I'd like to use it for some photography of the night sky where image stacking is often used to bring out faint images (see http://www.astrostack.com/). For image stacking you need to *add* the pixels in the images together rather than filter, such as selecting the median values (which I suspect is similar to what it currently does).

Another useful feature (essential for image stacking) is the ability to subtract a 'dark frame' from the photos before processing. A dark frame is a long exposure photo taken in pitch black, e.g. with the lens over on. Then bias in the individual CCD elements show up. Subtracting the dark from from the individual frames can improve long exposure photos greatly.

These features would be great for me - a complete mobile astrophotography lab in my pocket.

Steve there's Panoman for that purpose, stitiching photos together I mean.

Dinan, unfortunately I only tried it on my 3250 for which I have a license. So I can't pretty much say how it works on an N95.

What a great idea for a Symbian app! I too would like it to have some pattern recognition so that it could match the individual photographs without requiring such a perfect alignment between them. It would definitely make my E65's crappy camera work as a real camera!

Installed their demo version on my N95-1 and N95-2, and I get the same error on both. When I try have a group of photos ready, I click "Start Processing" and it gives me an error. Something along the lines of "Error can't start processing. Error: -04" or something... oh well.

Forgot to explain better - what if I want to take a panorama, say of the Golden Gate Bridge. We've all tried to take several photos and stitch them together as a panorama, but it's tough - not least becuase we never line the pictures up so well, and there are usually remarkable colour differences between the pictures.

I'd like to see the ability to automatically stitch photos together. PhotoShop introduced this feature recently, and that's nice, but we don't all have the cash for that sort of software.

By the way I tried clicking on your sample images to view the larer originals, but they don't appear to have active links on them.
