The several predefined stitching profiles (parameter sets) comes with the product that covers most of the common shooting conditions. You can manually create your own profile or customize any existing one by setting all available parameters of the stitching engine starting from an automatic crop of the result and ending with the image blending options.
Here is the list of standard profiles and recommendations of their use:
- Default
- Suitable for almost all shooting conditions (from hands or using a tripod) with good photos overlapping (from 30%).
- No deviation
- This profile is recommended in case of using a tripod while shooting. It ignores the possible camera rotation during the stitching process.
- Quick calculation
- Recommended for creating a draft of the panorama when you are using high resolution photos to check if the photos are ordered correctly.
- Precise Calculation
- The most accurate and time consuming profile to get the best result. This profile is recommended to use after creating a draft with the help of the previous one.
- Small intersections
- If you have a photo set with very low intersections and cannot shoot a new set, then try to use this profile.
