Abstract
This is a technical manual for the GigaPan software products Stitch, Stitch.Efx, and Upload. This document is intended to complement the introductory tutorial at http://gigapan.com/cms/manuals, to help those who are more advanced photographers, or experienced Photoshop users, pushing the limits of what is possible, or encountering trouble. In addition to a fairly complete discussion of the software’s features, some of the operations going on behind the scenes are described. The four chapters of the document are Overview, Stitch, Upload, and History. At the end of the latter chapters you will find troubleshooting sections.
