Templates

Templates significantly decrease the amount of time and effort you spend stitching
images if you consistently shoot panoramas with identical shot parameters and the
same number of rows and with a tripod. Templates let you reuse identical shot
parameters and row setups from one project to create another project with perfectly
stitched images instantly. If you have more than one set of images with identical shot
parameters and row setup, create a stitched panorama in the usual way (see "Stitching
images" on page 105), then save the project as a template. Then, open that template
later to create another perfectly stitched project with a different series of shots.
NOTE You cannot use templates for projects that have differing shot parameters and row
setups. In this case, you must load and stitch images the usual way.

Saving a project as a template

Saving a project as a template is the only way to create a template. To save a project as a
template, at least one stitched image must exist in the project.
NOTE When you create and work with projects without a template, you may have duplicate
images, or images not required in the Thumbnail View or the Image Strip, depending on
your working style and any changes you need to make along the way.
To save a project as a template:
Do one of the following:

If you already have a project created with the required row set up and focal length,
open the project.
Note : If your created project includes duplicate images or images not required,
remove them first. Make sure only the images you will use for the template are loaded
into the project.
