What can I do with Stitcher?
• Virtual tours (QTVR):
Stitcher allows you to create interactives virtual tours which can be either cylindrical, spherical or cubic. Cylindrical panoramas are usually made of a single row of pictures, up to 360° horizontal. Spherical panoramas are made of several rows of pictures up to 360° horizontal by 180° vertical. Panoramas created with Stitcher can be exported in different formats including the most widely used Apple's QuickTime VR format. In addition, Stitcher allowking panos using the hotspot feature.

• Flat Stitch:
Making a Flat Stitch is equivalent to stitching images taken on the same plane/level. A flat stitch is a series of images, where the camera moves in parallel to the level of the object being captured. This type of stitch can be simulated using images with a very high focal length, typically the operating mode of a scanner. Therefore, the 'Flat Stitch' function is very useful to easily scan an image which format is bigger than the one of your scanner (usually A4). i.e.: maps, architectural plans etc. To do this, you scan the different sections of your document with sufficient overlap between each image, to be able to reconstruct the final image.

• A panorama for print:
Stitcher is the best way to create high-res panoramas which can then be printed in very large sizes. The user can fine-tune his settings to obtain "his ideal panorama" in terms of size, resolution & image format. Stitcher also calculates the best-size rendering setting, according to the original size images.

• Creating Environment Maps:
Thanks to a variety of rendering options (spherical, cylindrical, cubic), your panorama created within Stitcher can be integrated into a 3D scene in order to generate a background image, reflections and lighting with complete photo-realism.

• Matte painting:
A Matte Painting is a very wide picture which is used as a background image in special effects for films & videos.
