Stitch command (Image menu)

Use this command to stitch a set of images into a panorama. By default, The Panorama Factory will attempt to stitch all of the trimmed images. If there are no trimmed images, The Panorama Factory will attempt to stitch all of the imported images. You may, however, select a subset of the computed thumbnails or imported thumbnails to stitch.

This command is available only when you are not viewing a panoramic image.

NOTE: All images to be stitched must have the same width and height.

When stitching is completed, The Panorama Factory adds the stitched image to the end of the computed thumbnails list and selects it as the current image. It displays rectangles superimposed on the stitched image to indicate the image overlap regions:

When you place the cursor over various parts of the overlap rectangles it changes to show you what editing actions are possible:

	Indicates that the cursor is over a vertical sides of an overlap rectangle. Dragging changes the width of the overlap rectangle. This is used to exclude portion one image or the other from the blend region. You cannot enlarge the rectangle beyond the boundaries of the image overlap. If you try, the rectangle edges will snap back.
	Indicates that the cursor is over the top or bottom edge of an overlap rectangle. Clicking opens the overlap region for manual fine tuning (removal of ghost images).
