I am using 2.0.1-Dufour and
looking for documentation on how to stitch some raster images together. The
original images are jpg and when I did an add raster layer the image was
not recognizable. The jpg images of course do not have any location
associated with them. I then used Gimp to convert them to tiff (not
geotiff) and they load as good looking raster layers. There is no CRS
associated with these images, they are just spatially related to each
other. 

1) Do I have to convert all of my pictures to tiff or is there
some way to load jpg raster images that do not distort beyond recognition?


2) Where can I find documentation on how to stitch my images together? I
have not found the documentation for that process yet.   AutoPano Pro/Giga
[1] is great, although not free software, for this. It does a great job of
stitching "normal" photos together, (in jpeg or tiff), but I don't know how
well it manages aerial photography.   There are open-source equivalents [2]
but they do not do a great job of finding the "control points" as easily as

Thanks,
