4. Stitching and uploading panoramas

GigaPan Stitch software automatically takes all your photos and combines them into one
big panorama. Once that's done, you can upload it to GigaPan.com for everyone to see.
You'll need an Intel based Mac or PC with at least 1 GB of RAM (more is better) to stitch
photos. The more powerful your computer, the less time required to stitch panoramas. To
upload to the GigaPan.com site, your panorama must be at least 50 megapixels (or an
average of 35 or more pictures have been stitched together in a single panorama).
4.1 Using GigaPan Stitch Software
1. Start the GigaPan Stitch software—you'll find it under 'Start' > 'Programs' > 'GigaPan
Stitch' in Windows, or under 'Applications' on a Mac. To allow GigaPan Stitch to work
faster, it is recommended that you quit all other programs.
2. Click on 'Add Images'. The pictures must be in JPG format.
3. Select the photographs you took for the panorama from the folder where you've saved
them on your computer. Hold down [Shift] to select many images at a time. It's all right
if you don't remember the file names—just select the ones you think apply. You can
remove the duplicate or extraneous ones or add more photos later.
4. The photos will appear scrambled initially. Change the 'Number of Rows' so they line
up properly.
5. If you want to remove a photo, click on it and choose 'Remove Images'. To select mul-
tiple photos, click and drag the mouse over them.
Note: GigaPan Stitch won't work unless each column has an equal number of photos.
