Using MGI PhotoVista
MGI PhotoVista is an easy-to-use program that lets you create spectacular 360  panoramic images in
a snap. When you view these panoramas, you get the experience of being totally immersed in a realis-
tic environment.  Photovista’s powerful engine quickly and automatically stitches images together, and
its intuitive interface will let even a novice get great results in minutes.

overlap depends on the lens type you’re using.
