Here you make final choices about the form of the panoramic output file.  In fully automatic stitching or document stitching, this is Wizard step 6/7.

First, indicate the intended disposition of your final image—internet display or printing.

Préparer l'image pour un affichage web / Prepare image for internet display
Selecting this option gives you the ability to control the final image size in pixels.  It also gives you the option of automatically creating a thumbnail image.

Choose one of these options:

Taille maximale / Maximum size — The final image will be as large as possible.

Largeur de l'image / Image width — Enter the width of the final image in pixels.  The Panorama Factory will scale the width and height proportionally to create the final image.

Hauteur de l'image / Image height — Enter the height of the final image in pixels.  The Panorama Factory will scale the width and height proportionally to create the final image.

Préparer l'image pour une impression / Prepare image for printing
Selecting this option gives you the ability to control the final image size in inches or centimeters.

Choose one of these options:

Résolution par défaut / Default resolution — The final image will be printed at the resolution (DPI) specified by the imported images.

Largeur imprimée / Printed width — Enter the width of the printed image in inches,  cm or pixels.  If you choose inches or cm, The Panorama Factory will adjust the resolution (DPI) without changing the size of the image in pixels.

Hauteur imprimée / Printed height — Enter the height of the printed image in inches, cm or pixels.  If you choose inches or cm, The Panorama Factory will adjust the resolution (DPI) without changing the size of the image in pixels.

When you are satisfied with your settings, press the Suiv. / Next> button.

At this point the Wizard will do the work of building your Panorama Factory project.  The amount of time this will take depends on the size of your imported images, the options you have chosen and the performance of your computer.  It may take a few minutes or tens of minutes.

These are the steps the Wizard will follow to build your project:

1.       If you selected Tout-automatique / Fully automatic (Assemblage de photos / Photo stitching) and any of these options:
               Détecter automatiquement la focale / Automatically detect focal length
               J'ai estimé la focale / I guessed the focal length
               Je suis à peu près sûr de la focale / I am pretty sure of the focal length
               Corriger la distortion en barillet / Correct barrel distortion
               Corriger le vignettage / Correct brightness falloff
the Wizard begins by warping and aligning the central two images.  It then uses these two images to calculate the focal length, the correction for barrel distortion and/or the correction for brightness falloff.

2.       If you did not select Tout-automatique / Fully automatic (Assemblage de photos / Photo stitching), the Wizard uses the stitching points to determine the focal length and the correction for barrel distortion.  It then uses the central two images to calculate the correction for brightness falloff if you selected ##10255## / Correct brightness falloff.

3.       Next, the Wizard warps and aligns all of your images.  If you selected Positionnement automatique / Automatically fine tune, it also fine tunes the overlap regions to remove ghosts.

4.       The Wizard crops your image automatically.

5.       If you specified the size of your final image in pixels, the Wizard resamples the cropped image.

6.       Finally, the Wizard applies a sharpening filter if you selected Accentuer l'image finale / Sharpen the final image.

The Détecter automatiquement la focale / Automatically detect focal length, Positionnement automatique / Automatically fine tune and Accentuer l'image finale / Sharpen the final options may be somewhat time consuming.  If you find that your panoramas take a very long time to create, you may decide to decline one or more of these options.  If you decline these options, your image may lose some quality.  But don't worry; you can apply all of these options later using the Classic interface.  To learn how, see:

·         The Affiner ±50% / Refine ±50% button on the Zone de superposition / Overlap region dialog box in Chapter 13, “Dialog boxes.”

·         The Positionner / Fine tune command (Image / Image menu) in Chapter 6, “Menus.”

·         The Accentuer / Sharpen command (Nouvelle image / New image menu) in Chapter 6, “Menus.”
