LM Stitch Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I play back my panoramas?
Most panoramic stitching applications are intended for creating virtual-reality-like realtime walkthroughs. In this situation, only a portion of the panorama is displayed corresponding to the direction you are looking, and you can move the mouse to look around the panoramic space. While this can be an interesting use of panoramas, we feel that panoramas are actually more interesting and attractive when viewed in their entirety. (Plus, it's very hard to find a location with 360 degrees of interesting scenery. Most panoramas only have about 180 degrees that are worth photographing.) Therefore, we developed LM Stitch with the purpose of creating attractive still panoramic photos, rather than an interactive multimedia experience. LM Stitch has no "playback" option.

Does LM Stitch support QuickTimeVR?
No, LM Stitch is not intended to create interactive panoramas. It is mainly meant to be used to create wide-angle photos that would be impossible to shoot with a normal lens.
