The Photo Tools 415
To create a panorama you need to take a series of separate photos from a central
position. Ideally each photo would overlap the next by approximately 30%, although it will
work with more or less overlap.
The process of creating a panorama is very straightforward:
1. Import each of the photos. There is no need to try and position the overlaps
correctly
2. Select all the photos you want to stitch together - they don't have to be in order.
3. Click the PANORAMA button on the PHOTO TOOL fly-out bar.
It will start the process of stitching and continue as a background process. A popup
status window shows the progress through the various stages, although you can
continue using Xara Designer Pro X like normal while this happens. When the process is
complete the resulting panorama image is imported onto the page. Note that it does not
replace the original images, which you can delete if you no longer require them.
Three example photos of a landscape. Each overlaps the other (in this case a bit more than
necessary).
The resulting single panorama image, with seamless integration.
