Photographers, architects, designers, and publishers know that it is not always possible to capture the entire scene in single shot, and hence panoramic photography or panoramic stitching comes into picture.

Panoramic stitching widely known as photo stitching, is the art of merging multiple photos and making it a single image known as panoramic picture and panoramic image.

To get a wide panoramic picture, photographers need to take high-resolution images of portions of the object or a scene and then these multiple images are merged together into a single panoramic photo.

Photo stitching is a fine art that requires keen attention to details, insight into photo enhancement techniques, and solid experience in panoramic photography – Flatworld Solutions offers just that, minus the added overheads. Our image/photo stitching services seamlessly merge any number of images to infuse life into your photographs.

Flatworld’s image/photo stitching process for superior quality

Our process ensures that your final image does not have any overlapping, color differences, misalignment, tilting angles, unwanted objects, inconsistent light and shade, or visible seams. If you follow the guidelines for clicking panoramic pictures then the results would be fantastic. Our process includes the following stages:

Sequencing – We first assemble the images as per the final desired result
Automatic joining – We utilize PTGui software to automatically join the images while manually controlling the overlap
Manual enhancement – Once the puzzle is joined our team enhances the image and merges the seams. We also correct the errors that might be present in your image due to movement, shifting of light, color inconsistency, etc.
Final quality check – Our project managers scrutinize every single inch of the image at the highest resolution to identify any flaws that might have been missed out
Delivery – The final images can be delivered in PNG, JPEG, TIFF or any other popular format using our secure FTP

All these services are made possible because of our advanced Mac PCs with wide screen monitors, high storage space and RAM; high-speed internet connection; professional image editing software; in a world-class infrastructure.
