Stitching - rejoining split image


Recommended Posts

I recently tried to 'stitch' together two halves of a photo, that had once been cut in two, using the 'Panorama' feature but the latter did not recognise the - to me - obvious matching of the images. The photo includes a sky/sea horizon and features on the shore, lower down, that should have been recognised as matching in both halves. The cut was not neat as the photo was quite old, ie. not freshly cut, but there was very little content missing requiring serious repairs.

Can panoramas be formed only if two images 'overlap' each other? Obviously there was no overlap in this case.

In a word, yes. Ideally you should have an overlap of at least 20%, perhaps a little less for some types of image but often more than 25% for others.

If the cut is reasonably straight, you should be able to simply put each image on its own layer and then butt the two layers up against each other.
