S_MERGE is an interesting application created to help you merge two images. Useful for overlaying political and relief maps or inserting a watermark in your pictures.

Total flexibility in alignment of the images such as scaling, relative positioning and rotation is allowed with many options available for blending the images together.

These include edge fading to remove the inappropriate edges seen as a result of merging two images of different sizes and positions.

There is an option to generate a cylindrical panoramic projection from a flat picture.

Here are some key features of "S_Merge":

· Split the completed image into a set of tiles where each tile is saved to a unique file.
· Set the background (base) color.
