Creating Panoramas
The four stages of creating web panoramas
Whichever software is used there are four broad stages in the process of producing a panorama for the web:
Taking photographs
Capturing a scene by taking a sequence of overlapping photographs in different directions from the same spot.
Digitising images
Converting the photographs into electronic format so that they can be stored as image files on a computer.
Stitching images
Using dedicated software such as QuickStitch 360 or PixMaker Lite to electronically combine - or 'stitch' - the photographs together into a single panoramic image.
Publishing the panorama
Adding the panorama to a web page so that users can control the direction and zoom in or out to explore the scene interactively.
