Try to keep the vertical misalignment to within 10% of the image height. • Do not include moving items in the overlap. • Do not try to stitch images that include both distant and close subjects. Objects may appear warped or doubled up. • Make the brightness in each image consistent. The final image will appear unnatural if the difference in brightness is too great. • For good results, pan (swivel) the camera to take successive shots. • To shoot close-ups, slide the camera over the subject, keeping it parallel as you move.
