Creating Panoramic Photo Using PhotoStitch

Creating Panoramic Photo Using PhotoStitch

PhotoStitch is an easy-to-use image merger utility which enables you to create a panoramic photo 
by merging multiple photos taken with a digital camera.

Steps

1

In the Browser Display Area of the ZoomBrowser EX, select multiple photo images 
(thumbnails) to merge.

2

Open the 

Edit

 menu and select the 

PhotoStitch

 command.

PhotoStitch starts and loads the selected photo images.

Merge as many images as you like either vertically or horizontally by a simple operation, and create 
posters and other photo-prints. Also try the wide-mode merging which shows buildings and other 
straight-lined objects with straight lines as natural as the original.
For more details on the merging procedure, refer to the Help of PhotoStitch.
