As we can see, the horizontal and vertical Angle of View of the whole panorama 

26

 are 

5-6° larger than defined in the input fields 

13/15

. This is good and let as crop the pano-

rama after stitching and processing e.g. in Photoshop.  

 
 

 

 

 

In a further step, we reduce the 

NPOS (H)

 

17

 from 8 to 7 and the "No. of images (V)" 

19

 from 3 to 2. Followed by a "Manual Portrait" 

23

 calculation, the "Angle of View Pano 

(H)" is with 94.32° still OK - but the horizontal overlap 

26

 is falling to 25.13% (still OK). 

The "Angle of View Pano (V)" with 43.48° is inacceptable and wouldn't cover the entire 
panorama.
