What is the Seam?
After the initial images are taken onsite, they are uploaded into the computer and “stitched together” using iPIX software. Each raw, hemispherical image covers a 185° field of view. This leaves 10° overlap between the two images. The seam goes all the way around the image and is precisely aligned by the software. The lighting in each hemisphere greatly affects the visibility of the seam. The seam is almost always visible as the extent of which is determined by the lighting conditions at the time the raw images are shot and the precise placement of the camera by the photographer.
