Stitching images together to increase the pixel count and/or the field of view.

If you've requested a free sample, you've obtained a photo of the Colorado National Monument which was taken with a 2.1 Megapixel camera.  However, the original from which this thumbnail image was obtained measures 3,406 x 1.678 pixels -- 5.7 Megapixels.  Almost the same photo could have been taken with a 6 Megapixel camera (2,000 x 3,000 pixels) with a wide angle lens and then cropped to the desired aspect ratio.  However, the photographer was able to use an inexpensive camera instead of a more expensive camera, and get a superior result.  Then, instead of purchasing expensive stitching software, he used our free on-line stitching editor.  With stitching, photographers can obtain results far superior to those obtainable with the best digital cameras.  The advantages of stitching are a well-kept secret, and there is a learning curve in knowing how to take photos for stitching.

To stitch photos together using our on-line stitching editor, follow these easy steps:

  • Take photos using our guidelines.  Primarily, this means making sure the photos overlap somewhat.

  • Upload them into your on-line directory.

  • Click "stitch"

  • Choose the photos to be stitched together, and indicate whether the sequence is horizontal or vertical.

  • Let our editor guide you through the rest of the process.  The last step is about a wait of aobut 60 seconds while we stitch your photos together.

  • Zoom in to see the result.  Keep in mind that the result you are viewing is still just a thumbnail.  If you order prints, we'll redo the stitch with the same information to obtain a full-size result.
