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.
