Tips on stitching great panos • Photos that are plain or clear in the area of overlap will fail to stitch. • Non overlapping photos will be automatically ignored. • Use your favorite camera app to capture overlapping images. • Make sure there is enough overlap area between photos. • Use the camera lens as the rotation axis and not your body when capturing photos for stitching. Keep the lens or device at the same point as much as possible but rotate it in any direction to capture overlapping photos. • Keep the lens or camera still when snapping to avoid motion blur. • To help capture good overlapping shots keep track of the center of the previous shot and snap another when it reaches the edge. • Avoid capturing photos in direct sunlight. • Don’t merge photos with severe differences in lighting conditions. • Avoid moving objects in the area of overlap. Hope you enjoy using this panoramic app and that you will make memorable pano shots with it. Thank you.
