The final menu, Help, again has a single item, About. Once you make the habit of changing options first and opening files second, the Start item is no longer needed. This is used in case the images were already opened and the options were changed after. The third menu, Stitch, has a single item as well, Start. Other Options controls the amount of system memory used and the JPEG quality of the output. Selecting 100% gives the highest resolution output. Output Size is used to control the size of the produced panorama by specifying a width, height or percentage of the maximum possible resolution. Do not panic though, the two important option groups are understandable. These seem like implementation parameters which are only understandable by the author. Most of them have cryptic names like SIFT Image Size, Theta Max or Phi Min.

This item brings up a rather large dialog which shows seven groups of options. Selecting Open lets the user choose images and Autostitch starts stitching temp together immediately.Ī better place to start is with the Edit menu which only has one item called Options. The File menu has two options: Open and Exit. The window never shows anything more, it is just there to hold the menu bar. When the program starts, it presents the user with an almost empty window. Using Autostitch is simplicity itself, partly because it does nearly everything automatically and partly because it does very little.
