Simply select/get photos in one of the following ways: > Use the apps built-in photo-picker by pressing the gallery icon, select an album, select photos then confirm. > Use your favourite camera app to snap overlapping photos then open this app to select the shots. > Use a drone to capture aerial shots. Bimostitch will then automatically match, align and blend together the selected images into a wonderful panorama using advanced on-device image stitching algorithms. NOTE: You get multiple panorama outputs at once if more than one group of overlapping photos are detected in your selection. All this takes just a few minutes depending on your choice of maximum output resolution and your device’s computational power. You can visit the apps settings page to change properties such as the output album name, maximum resolution and many more choices to suit your needs. NOTE: At least 2GB RAM required for 100 MP.

It doesn’t matter whether you are a professional or newbie panoramic photographer, this app will work great for you. 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.
