Framing a Subject The PhotoStitch program detects the overlapping portions of adjoining images and merges them. When shooting, try to include a distinctive item (landmark) in the overlapping portions. 72 · Compose each frame so that it overlaps 30 - 50% of the adjoining image.

These items may appear warped or doubled up in the merged image. · Make the brightness in each image consistent. The final image will appear unnatural if the contrast in brightness is too great.
