Restart the Wizard command
Use
this command to restart the Wizard at any Wizard step on a panorama that you
have already stitched. You can modify any of the Wizard settings and then
restitch the panorama.
This command can be applied to any stitched image or any image that is derived from a stitched image. It places you in the Wizard at the final Wizard step. You can use the Back button to change any Wizard step, including the one for selecting the stitching method.
To add or remove images or change the order of the images, go back to Wizard step 1/9 – Import your images. In that Wizard step you can click and drag the images to change their order or use the Add images and Remove images buttons to add and remove images from your panorama. See “Wizard step 1/9 – Import your images” in Chapter 3, “Using the Stitching Wizard to make a panorama” for more information.
When you complete the Wizard, The Panorama Factory restitches the panorama, replacing the existing panorama with the restitched one. Other images that are derived from the stitched image are updated accordingly.
If you cancel the Wizard, the images will remain unchanged.

Clear fine tuning command
Use this command to remove the fine tuning of an image.
You can use this command in two ways. If you use it when the stitched image is in the current image pane, The Panorama Factory will remove the fine tuning of all overlap regions.
To remove the fine tuning of one overlap region at a time, you must use the Clear fine tuning command when that overlap region is open. To open an overlap region, click the handle at the top or bottom edge of an overlap outline or double-click anywhere on the outline when the stitched image is showing (see the Stitch command). Once the overlap region is open, you can use the Clear fine tuning command to remove the fine tuning or correct the fine tuning manually.
