However, you can disable the automatic update by selecting the Lock rotation setting command. If you want to restore the automatic updating, select the Automatically update rotation setting command.

You can also close a project by using the Close icon on the project's window.

Save project archive as... command
Use
this command to save and name the active project. The Panorama Factory displays
the Save As dialog box so you can name your
project. An archival save differs from an ordinary save in that you normally
store only the imported image files and thumbnail image files with the archived
version. Computed images are not normally stored with the archived version
because The Panorama Factory can recompute them when you read the archive.
The Project properties dialog box (File menu) lets you control which computed images are written when you archive your project. You can also designate a different set of computed images to write when you save your project normally.
top
Save current image as... command
