The Multiple TIFF settings dialog box appears when you press the Multiple TIFF settings... button on the Save Image As dialog box. It lets you control attributes of the set of exported TIFF image files. The Multiple TIFF export format is used when you want to blend your panorama using an external blending program such as Enblend or Smartblend. Each layer of the panorama is saved as a separate TIFF file.
When you enter a file name on the Save Image As dialog box, The Panorama Factory appends “_01.tiff”, “_02.tiff”, etc. to create the actual output file names for the individual layer files.
Preset
Initializes theoptions on this dialog box to specific values for
certain external blending programs.
Pixel
size
Allows you to choose whether to save the file with 24-bit pixels
(8 bits per color channel) or 48-bit pixels (16 bits per color channel).
This option is available only if the image uses 45-bit pixels. See Use 45-bit pixels and Enable color tool on the Project properties dialog box to learn about 45-bit pixels.
Layer cropping
Controls the cropping of layer images. If you choose the cropped
option, the output TIFF files respect the cropping bounds if you are exporting
a stitched and cropped image. If you choose the uncropped option, the output
TIFF files are enlarged if necessary to include the entire original image.
Layer blending
Controls the blending of layer images. If you choose the blended
option, the alpha channel of each TIFF file is used to blend the images
according to the way that you have edited the overlap regions. The unblended
option uses the alpha channel only to define the boundaries of the warped
images. If you are using an external blending program, you should choose the
unblended option.
Alpha channel
Determines the attributes of the alpha channel in the TIFF
files. Some external blending programs require the alpha channel to be marked
as either associated or unassociated with the image data. Refer
to the documentation of the program you are using to determine whether one or
the other is required.
Color
correction
Select this checkbox to save images with uncorrected colors.
Normally images are saved with the colors shown on the screen as affected by
the Color tool settings.
Selecting this checkbox allows saving the image file without applying color
correction.
This option is available only if the image uses 45-bit pixels and the Save 48-bit pixels option is selected. See Use 45-bit pixels and Enable color tool on the Project properties dialog box to learn about 45-bit pixels.
