Loading Images With Photostitch - Canon Powershot A50 Software Starter Manual

Loading Images with PhotoStitch

PhotoStitch is a program for merging images into panoramas. Images can be merged
horizontally, vertically, in matrices or in 360-degree strips. It is easy to shoot images for
merging using the PowerShot A50's Stitch Assist mode. To load images from a CF card in
a camera, first start TimeTunnel and use the Plug-In Module to acquire them. The
following procedures explain how to load and merge images shot with the Stitch Assist
mode.
1. Attach the camera to your Macintosh computer (p. 27).
2. Turn the camera's Mode Dial to the [PC] position.
3. Open the
[Inactive] for the port you are using.
4. Start TimeTunnel and acquire the images you wish to merge by following steps
4 to 11 on pages 28 to 29 in the "Loading Images with TimeTunnel" section.
A message stating that images shot in Stitch Assist mode were detected will appear and
ask whether you wish to merge them.
5. Click the [OK] button.
If the images you wish to merge do not appear
immediately, click the [Skip] button. If the correct ones
appear, click the [OK] button. PhotoStitch will start and
display your images.
6. Click the [Merge All] button.
The loaded images will automatically begin merging,
displaying the preliminary results in the Merge
Original Images window.
• The merged image hasn't actually been created yet
at this point.
7. Click the [Start] button.
The images will begin the final
merge.
