| yes they do make software for this but the only one I know of came with my camera setup.
you can do this yourself though in a photo/graphics program. you simply cut and paste your seperate images into one master picture, line up the common elements and viola, one big picture. the key though is to take the pictures for this purpose in the first place. unfortunatly standing in one place and turning to get multiple shots of one subject wil give you a distorted overall image when you try and combine them together. the trick is to stay in a similar position along your subject so your images will all be of a similar perspective. Refer to the pic below for more explanation.
The main problem with multiple images comes from the outer edges of the image being distorted. this is due to the typical focal length used in a typical digital/point and shoot camera. they usually use a low focal length which gives you a wide field of view while sacrificing some image quality around the fringe. for most pics you would never notice anything. Ideally for a distortion free image, use a 50mm lens on a SLR body. Anyway enough theory for now.
