    My camera doesn't have built-in panorama stitching, only a superimposed guide to help taking the photos.

    For joining the panorama, I first tried AutoStitch - which didn't work because it ran out of memory.
    Then I tried Panorama Maker (came with the Nikon cd). If the photos are too big, it gives out corrupted jpegs (because of lack of memory). So I had to resize all the photos & then join them.
    & then retouch them in Photoshop because there was contrasting stitching done... (here as well, Photoshop gave out of memory errors because it struggled to handle the large photo).

    Conclusion: Shooting a panorama is easy... Joining it isn't. :|

  4. @Carrot : You should decrease the output height and width in AutoStitch so as to avoid it running out of memory.
