I was thinking this the other day, sadly I can't stretch to CS5 so was thinking about one of the plugins to aperture or pse
I used http://echoone.com/doubletake/ before seemed to work well for me. Need to improve the photos I take though.
could try http://www.ptgui.com/
Try Hugin which can be found at
http://hugin.sourceforge.net/
You can find the Mac and Windows version under the Download button on that site and halfway down that page under precompiled versions. I believe it also comes in a Linux version as well.
It seems to be a very powerful program.

Thanks,I'm trying Hugin now but cant seem to see how to export the final panorama into a JPEG....seem to only save it as the project file.
Tutorials for Hugin can be found on their website at
http://hugin.sourceforge.net/tutorials/index.shtml
According to the Simple tutorial (which leads you through combining two photos), it states at the end
"Finally we are going to generate the output image. Select the Stitcher tab.
The projection should be Rectilinear, and having adjusted the field of view in the preview window these settings should not need to be altered. Select Blended panorama under Normal output, and under File formats - Normal output choose whatever suits you. Here we have chosen JPEG. Select Save project and stitch. Firstly, project files will be saved to your selected location (these can be opened again later in Hugin to revisit the process) and finally you will be asked for a filename prefix for the final panorama."
It looks therefore that the program helpfully saves your project first (so you can go back to it at a later date) and then asks you for a filename for the panorama and then saves it.
I've neer used the program but I've always heard good reports about it. It seems to be able to do all sorts of things. There are quite a few tutorials so hope they help.
