7. Tips and tricks

Here are some tips and tricks to make the most of your panoramas. Also, check out the creative
ideas and advanced tips to go beyond the basics with your shots.

7.1 Shoot more than you need

Always take a larger panorama than you need to. Because stitched panoramas are rarely
rectangular, you will need to crop your panorama to print it out. This could lead to a lot of
lost information, especially at the boundaries.
Another good idea is to set your lower-right corner so that it's just after the point when
the number of horizontal and vertical photos increases. For example, if the GigaPan shows
you 20 horizontal and 10 vertical images, move it lower and to the right so that it reads 21
horizontal and 11 vertical.
