Image Composite Editor (ICE)

[heruca]

The ICE software from Microsoft could be useful in stitching together multiple scans of pieces of a map or gameboard. This could be quite useful when creating a gameboard image for use in BGE or BRPG, since many gameboards from published games are far too large to scan all at once on a typical consumer flatbed scanner.

I learned about this on the BoardgameGeek forums, where it got praise from a few people.

I'll have to look into that Deep Zoom file format they mentioned to see if it's useful to my mapping application. Thanks for sharing.
