Can't remember exactly, but it's referred to a photo merge. Then you choose between HDR or pano. It's pretty good software. I think it's on the edit tab.
Got a tip for us?

If you download the free app 'Hugin' I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is
Here it is ... http://hugin.sourceforge.net/

Just right click on the images you want to create a pano with, (sequential photos), and choose photo merge->Panorama and then it'll stitch together a sample and you would be able to choose three different options. Usually just go with the default, and then click merge.
Select the photos when in develop then there is option to merge photos. You then have HDR or panorama stitch...
Both my iPhone and camera (Sony Nex-7) do it for me. With a few exceptions the stitching has been excellent.
Hopefully I beat the clock.

Ah but you live in spitting distance from a view most deserving of pano action! Go out, get one anyway... I love that view...
Sorry for the delay - air traffic control delays....Thanks everyone for some great photos, hopefully judging can live up to the quality of entries.
As far as pano stitching is concerned, I personally use Hugin - free (highly desirable to the Scot) and does a very good job IMHO.
pmexperience: having been there, I know what you mean with respect to air quality. I like the way your pano gives the impression of expanse, something the original architects certainly wanted in terms of impressing their power. Good use of the format. Photo could have done with a bit more life but I'm sure the air issues and overall lack of dynamic range in the subject were an issue here.
Illuminated: last time I was in Denver I was stuck overnight at the airport in a blizzard but I won't let that put me off! Nice view to have from your apartment and a nice sunset but I don't know that a panoramic format added a great deal to the image.
Miltz: I'm a sucker for NYC I'm afraid - I'll be there later this week. Great use of the format for that iconic view. If I had to be critical, it is perhaps a little too HDR-ish for my tastes but I like it nonetheless. Good composition and flow.
Scam: ditto with respect to NYC and from a pretty close location to Miltz. Lovely night shot with both foreground and distant interest and great use of colour temperatures. If I had to be critical, it would be nice to have included a bit more of the Brooklyn Bridge in the composition (wider panorama) but I recognise it isn't always possible.
someoldguy: I was expecting an NYC shot from you. I really like the way you have used the format - the mesa snakes its way across the field of view. Again to be picky it is perhaps slightly too cropped top-and-bottom but certainly makes for an interesting pano.
sixkiller: great pano of the Brooklyn Bridge. Nicely captures the FDR leading towards the bridge. Nice, almost selective colour treatment and the misty atmosphere comes over well.
Keno: I know how difficult it is to get good sunrise or sunsets over Glasgow and this captures a lot of lovely subtle colours and cloud textures. To be picky/critical, the foreground is a bit dark with not a lot of interest/detail. Nice one.
Hughmac: Good use of the pano format and an interesting subject. I'd almost be tempted to get rid of the lefthand bridge to eliminate the concrete structure. I like the sky but again being picky, might perhaps benefit from a more contrasty post.
Nice one.
AlexanderofOz: Lovely clouds and colours and good use of the format. Being picky, perhaps a little unbalanced in composition - I'd be inclined to get rid of some of the left side and focus on the pier structure round to the kids fishing. Lovely.
Redoctober: Great use of the format and the inclusion of the hot air balloons really gives a sense of scale and gives a good colour contrast between them and the brownish landscape. Would have loved to have seen the equivalent in one of the more verdant seasons or with a bit more green in post.
glenthompson: Certainly shows the vastness of Alaska and makes me want to go there but I'm sorry that the mountains over on the right are a little lost. Almost a case of too much pano I'm afraid but hen again I could probably say the same for my example at head of the post!
elberta: I like the foggy treatment (would have been a good entry for that theme a few back). I think the pano format is almost a necessity here given the lack of any sky detail due to the fog. Good, attractive composition
JDDavis: Great use of the format and I like the bands of colour and texture ranging from the foreground grass to the clouds. Big Country.
soulreaver99: A bit like Redoctobers's shot, the inclusion of the person on the left really puts the view into perspective. To be picky, the blue parts of the scene are a little indistinct but overall, a goos use of the format to portray a really attractive vista.
Applefanboy: You never just make up the numbers! A nice English landscape vista with pano giving an impression of what the eyes see. perhaps lacking slightly in points of focus but then again, that is an issue with panorama as a format.
Badrottie: Perhaps a little too much sea in the composition and unfortunately changes in exposure through the pano. As with glenthompson above, perhaps a little too wide a vista to discern points of interest.
rx7Dude: NYC again, this time from the top of the Empure State? Good use of the format, especially when coupled with the fade into the distance of lower Manhattan and the World Trade Centre.
deep diver: certainly a different use of the format here. I for one love fresh, artisan breads and you certainly get over the virtual cornucopia of choice on offer here.
Now for the very subjective bit....

Thanks again everyone who entered and remember that these are purely subjective on my part.
Over to you for the next one sixkiller.
That was a great topic for a comp, well done all! And thank you for spending the time to provide an excellent commentary, @anotherscotsman!
Looking forward to the next comp

Great judging @anotherscotsman.
Also, it's funny that you mentioned the lack of life, as I actually removed a good 75% of people from the photo in order to make it feel more "open". Maybe I'll move forward with the crowds in the photo in the future. Thanks for the perspective.

Fascinating contest, with some lovely entries. Above all, it featured some great - as well as generous - and critically supportive feedback not to mention some excellent judging, @anotherscotsman. Well done all.
Well done everyone. Some really nice entries this week. Not my usual format so when going through my catalogue there wasn't many to choose from (and I haven't been out for a while).
Thanks for taking the time to critique all the entries @anotherscotsman.
Forgot to mention my entry is of the client hills. About 5 miles from where I live.

Nice Job @sixkiller and congrats to everyone else who placed . Apologies to @anotherscotsman for faking him out re: my entry . 4 NYC entries are enough . You're right , my entry was a bit too cropped vertically . It's a 5 shot pano done with a 100-400 on a travel tripod and the alignment was , well somewhat shaky . Lost a lot in stitching .
For the guy in the shack in the Aleutians who's wondering where it was taken , The place is called Nordenskiold 16 . It's one of many cliff dwellings in Mesa Verde in Colorado . You can't get there from here . Actually , you can't get there from Mesa Verde either , it's closed to the public . The only way you can see it involves about a mile and a half walk from the nearest parking area to the mesa edge opposite . Almost nobody goes there .

Many thanks to everyone again for another great competition.
I think you are right about the POTD posting of the mesa - not quite as panoramic as the competition entry but perhaps does the mesa more justice. There are never too many NYC pictures...

Congrats @sixkiller ! Thanks @anotherscotsman for the contest theme and feedback. Well done to all that entered, yet another week with amazing diversity from the entrants.
