Editing Panos Before Upload on Stitch

Overview

Stitch allows Operators to edit individual raw fisheye images before they're combined into a final panorama. This is useful for removing reflections, lens flare, dust spots, or unwanted objects, and for adjusting colour or exposure in specific areas of a scan before the project is exported and uploaded.

This workflow happens directly inside the project folder, then is reloaded into Stitch so the edits are picked up automatically, helping Operators deliver clean, polished panoramas in their final iGUIDE without the need for post-export rework.

Before You Begin

1. Have Stitch installed on your computer 

2. Transfer the project folder from your smart device to your computer

Steps to Edit Panos

1. In Stitch, right-click the pano you want to edit and select Open Folder

2. Locate the image file and open it in your preferred editing software (right-click → Open with, or browse from within the editor)

3. Create a backup of the original images before making changes
4. Perform your required edits
5. Save and overwrite the original photographs

6. Back in Stitch, right-click the pano folder and select Reload

7. Confirm the edit has loaded correctly in Stitch

8. Stitch will reprocess the three updated panos automatically — proceed with your workflow as normal

Common Use Cases

1. Removing reflections of the camera or photographer 

2. Removing lens flare or dust spots 

3. Adjusting colour or exposure in specific areas of the panorama 

4. Blurring or removing unwanted objects, such as personal photos in the home
