I wish it were a little larger - is this the same as stitching?

I always have trouble making my pics the right "size" (kbs) for posts. Photoshop calls it "photomerge" there is a setting on my camera called "stitching" where the camera is supposed to stitch pics together, but I've never been able to figure it out.I wish it were a little larger - is this the same as stitching?

I'd like to see a larger shot too. Death Valley is such a wonder.
The way I work it is thusly:
Finish with photo processing and save. Flatten image. Then I will go to Image --> Resize. From here, pick a size (ie. 600 on longest side) and the other attribute will change keeping the aspect ratio the same. For displaying on the web, 72dpi is just fine. Then there is a matter of sharpening a resized photo. I just apply a little USM then save as a jpg. The max size here is 117K so let that be your guide to what level of compression you use (probably about 6 or 7 for 117K @ 600 pixels).
There are many here with better defined work flows, but this should get you started 'cause I'd like to see a bigger picture of your pano.

Thanks and hope this is understandable,
Chris

I have been using a freeware from autostitch.net that is unbelievably easy to use. It even let me change pixel settings in its edit mode. You may want to try it.

I guess I'm a Photoshop failure...no matter what I do, I can't get it right, it's always too big to post. If anyone interested, I can email it full sized and you can try it. (it's 559 kb) I just tried one of you guys, but your emailed not accesable by me. (mine is danblood@cox.net)
Let me know-
Thanks-

Dang, you can still hardly see the jeep on the left hand side. The difference in size between the L and the O is enormous.

Here's the link.

Look even closer on the right. See the guy on the rock? My friend Randy and owner of the truck.Dang, you can still hardly see the jeep on the left hand side. The difference in size between the L and the O is enormous.
