The following is a checklist for optimizing your
results and uploading photos for stitching:
- If
possible, use a tripod. If
that’s not convenient, try to rotate the camera without changing its
position. The most
natural thing to do is to turn one’s head, moving the camera
substantially, between shots. Instead,
keep the camera over one spot.
- If
possible, lock the exposure so that each shot has the same exposure.
If some shots are noticeably lighter or darker than adjoining ones,
edit them to fix the exposure difference.
- As
you rotate the camera, e.g., to the right, locate an object in the
right side of the viewfinder on each shot.
Then, after you rotate the camera for the next shot, locate the
same object in the left side of the viewfinder. That way, you will insure that you have some objects for
the stitching program to locate.
Ideally, there should be about a 25% overlap between shots.
- Arrange
the photos, if possible, in sequential order in your directory.
That will make it easy to locate them for stitching.
- Make
sure each image has about the same pixel dimensions.
Don’t crop the images, except to remove the borders
created by some slide scanners.
