Hi. I'm making my first panorama in PSP X. I've imported 5 pics into 5
layers, positioned them, trimmed the excess off the canvas. Now I need
to warp the edges to make them match, but the tool is dimmed out. The
panorama picture is 9278 x 2447 pixels at 220 ppi; RGB 8 bits per
channel. The file on disk is 116 MB. The tool works fine with other
images. I've searched Corel and the web and can't find any reference to
this problem. 

I'd love some help or suggestions to try.

I see the same here. It appears to be an undocumented limit on the 
size of the canvas in both PSP 9 and PSP 10. A canvas of 8000 x 2447 
pixels is OK, but not one of 9000 x 2447 pixels. This is true for a 
background layer only and for a background plus four raster layers 
like yours. I have not pursued it far enough to know whether the 
limit is on the width or the area.

You could reduce the size of your starting images a little. You 
could look at other panorama stitching programs. Autostitch is free, 
completely automatic, and gets good reviews. It does require 
substantial overlap among the images.

Fred,
Thank you so much. I was tearing my hair out -- I really want to create
the panorama.

About other progams that create a panorama: I first tried Corel Photo
Album 6, since it got decent reviews, but it couldn't stitch my
pictures well -- there was alot of distortion at the far right and
left, and stitching that obviously didn't work. Where do I find
Autostitch? Are there other stitching programs you recommend?

Damn, you're good. It took me 9 seconds, but I'm a slow typer. :)

Well, I already had Google up, the internets were flowing especially 
fast today, and I AM a fast typer!
