I used to use the Automate -> Photomerge option in Photoshop CS3 to stich photos together. Is there an equivalent function in the latest version of Gimp? If so, how do I access/use it? If there is another solution please let me know, too.
Thanks!

As far as I know Gimp itself does not have a way to merge/stitch together photos. There are however various plugins which do this. E.g.
Stitch Panorama http://stitchpanorama.sourceforge.net/
Pandora http://www.shallowsky.com/software/pandora/
There's also Hugin: http://hugin.sourceforge.net/
Hugin is a separate program (not a Gimp plugin), but produces excellent results.

1+1 for Hugin. I've tried the two panorama plugins but none of them are as convenient as Photoshop's photomerge and, unless I missed something, require a lot of manual work. On the other hand, Hugin produces great results quickly and automatically, and is easy to use. – laurent – 2014-08-10T06:54:27.717
Stitch Panorama sounds good, but how do I install a plug in for Gimp in Mac OS X? – hpy – 2010-08-20T22:04:39.963
@penyuan: Sorry, no idea. Both plugins are scripts (Python and Scheme respectively), so they should work on any platform. Just try installing them according to the generic plugin installation docs (see e.g. http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-scripting.html ). Or just try Hugin first; it has an official Mac binary.
