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.</p>
<p>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?</p>
<p>2) Where can I find documentation on how to stitch my images together? I have not found the documentation for that process yet.</p></blockquote><div><br></div><div>AutoPano Pro/Giga [1] is great, although not free software, for this.
