Perils of Stitching
Given the benefits of stitching, why doesn't everyone use photographic stitching to obtain better photos?  The answer is that if you don't avoid certain pitfalls, the seams between photos may be visible.  Well done stitched photos show no evidence whatsoever of the stitching process -- the seams are totally invisible.  It may take a little practice to take photo sequences which can be converted into totally seamless panoramic or high-resolution photos.  The photos at right show a drastic variation in exposure from photo to photo.  Our stitching program managed to successfully smooth out the variations, but stitching programs are more reliable if there are not any substantial exposure variations.
