Step 2 - Import the images
After capturing the images you should import them into The Panorama Factory. Create a new Panorama Factory project with the New command and then use the Import command to read the image files into the project. Each imported image appears in the imported thumbnails pane.
This is a good time to make sure you have the correct settings for Film size and Focal length.
After you’ve imported all the images, save your project. Saving the project accomplishes two very good things. First, if somehow (heaven forbid) your computer crashes or The Panorama Factory loses its mind (fat chance!) you will not need to repeat this work. Second, whenever you save, The Panorama Factory removes from main memory any images that it can re-read from a disk file. This helps a lot if your machine doesn’t have unlimited RAM. Both of these are good reasons to save your work frequently.
If you are working from scanned images (negatives, slides or prints), you probably should color correct the imported images and then trim the images before going on to Step 3.
