General Considerations

The PhotoStitch Wizard is most easily used with photos in which the person’s face is well defined, and the background color contrasts well with the face and hair.

For PhotoStitch, best results may be obtained where the background is almost completely removed. Removing the heavily contrasting background colors may bring out subtle color variations in the person’s features.

Try removing the background in mySewnet™ Draw & Paint, or other picture editing software. Save the picture before making the PhotoStitch.

Removing the background can not only remove objects that draw attention from the subject of the picture, but can also enable Autolevel to enhance the color.
