thank you so much. I heard of that one as well....
my websearch for how to install it led me to the instructions (http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_Compiling_Ubuntu) which istructed me to:

   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hugin/hugin-builds;  sudo apt-get update; 
   sudo  apt-get install hugin enblend panini

which, after it ran, spat out:

   Reading package lists... Done
   Reading package lists... Done
   Building dependency tree       
   Reading state information... Done
   E: Unable to locate package panini

is there a secret to installing panini?

Use Hugin.  It's powerful and offers a a simple mode that just works as long as your input images are of good quality.

what is the best photo stitching program. My search revealed many and I
was interested in stitchpanorama but I could not find instructions on
how to install a plugin and I want to hear some opinions on good ones.

I was hoping to find one that would stitch on both axis. (both x and y)
The reason I want to be able to stitch both axes  is so I would be able
to mimic a wide angle lens.

Could I use convert for this purpose too?

        Take a look at the command "mogrify".  It's a command that comes
        with imagmagic (convert) and generally takes the same options as
        convert, but it made to do bulk converstion, so that you don't
        need to have a for loop around your command.
        Just be aware that it will usually replace your images with the
        converted versions, so make sure you test things out on backups.

                    Is there a way to scale a bunch of pictures down to

                    with GIMP?


            Probably, but it'd be a lot more of a pain to do that than
            to do what
            sean suggested.

                Use ImageMagick instead - it's designed for this and is
                quite powerful.


            To expand on what sean wrote:

            for FILE in *.jpg ; do
                 NEWFILE=`echo "$FILE" | sed -e 's/.jpg$/_resized.jpg/'`
                 convert "$FILE" -resize 50% "$NEWFILE"
                 done

            ...will take all the .jpg files in the current dir and write
            out new
            files named (original filename)_resized.jpg which have their
            X and Y
            dimensions reduced by 50%.  The original files will still be
            there.  The
            geometry specification in ImageMagick is powerful, so it's more
            complicated than you may expect.
            http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-processing.php#geometry
            for all the things you can do with it.
