I have used the Stitch Assist mode of my G-6 Powershot to take some pictures of scenes that extend over mulitple frames.
I am able to stitch some of the frames together but there are some image files with unusual names in the resulting pictures.
An example is a set of three files named,
IMG-1474.JPG, IMG-1475.JPG, and STA1476-1.JPG
All three files are generally of the same view but only two of the pictures overlap enough to be stitched. Photoshop Elements 3.0 will not stitch any of them. All three files have a "Date Modified" time of 08/30/2007 8:21AM
Another sequence is,
IMG-1621.JPG, IMG-1622.JPG, STA-1623-1.JPG, STC-1625-1.JPG, STD-1626-1.JPG
In this sequence, the first two pictures are the same shot (two face portraits of the same person, which is obviously a reshoot), while the last 3 are a panorama that it should be possible to stitch together. There is a overlap among the frames. The first two overlap by about 15 percent, but the last two overlap by 75 percent or more. All five pictures have the same "Date Modified" time of 08/30/2007 11:06AM.
I am able to stitch the last two photos together using Photoshop Elements 3.0 but not the others. The first two are portraits of the same two people, obviously shot because the first try did not work (one person blinked). The last three are a panorama of a view out through a large plate glass window into a Japanese garden in Tokyo.
Again, what are these STA, STC, and STD image files?
Although there is overlap between the STA and STC images, it is possible that I delayed the scan or moved the camera laterally instead of simply scanning it. Still there is clearly an overlap of 20 percent or so between the first (STA) and second (STC) images. The perspective is slightly different between the ffirst and second one. I judge all this visually from looking at the photos. I don't recall exactly what the camera setting and shooting steps were.
Any assistance you can provide to help me understand these image files with the STA, STC, etc prefix names would be appreciated.
