I'm working with municipal grid maps for planning purposes for a project in progress. Very handy for planning purposes but invariably the project straddles multiple sheets. In the past I've whipped out the scissors and scotch tape to create my own custom 'Plan of Survey'. Surely there is some program out there that would let me assemble multiple .tiff images together and edit them to create a single image that covers the area of interest. Any suggestions? The copier repairman would probably appreciate it if I would quite gumming the works up with loose pieces of scotch tape. :'(
TIA.

Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.

The http://files.carlsonsw.com/mirror/manuals/Carlson_2015/source/Takeoff/Raster/Merge_Raster_Files/Merge_Raster_Files.html&apos ;">Merge Raster Files command of the http://www.carlsonsw.com/solutions/construction-excavation/carlson-cadnet/&apos ;">Carlson CADnet module might get you what you need (and more). With messy raster files, the manual process seems to work better than the automatic process. There is a 30-day evaluation serial number for the product if you're interested.
Not sure how it will work with those types of images, but the best I have found for photos is Microsoft ICE, which is free!
Do they overlap or are they end-end photos?
If they have overlap then http://www.serif.com&apos ;">serif can do it all automatically. I'm not sure if it will handle large images though, I mainly use it to stitch together images I've taken on site with my phone.
It's free so it might be worth giving it a shot anyway.
