How to Stitch Large Originals with Flip-Pal
®
EasyStitch
Software
Flip-Pal
®
EasyStitch software enables you to easily stitch together multiple overlapping
4x6”scans of a large original such as an 8x10”photo, scrapbook page or poster.
1. To start the EasyStitch software:
Start the Flip-Pal
®
Toolbox 2, then click EasyStitch tab.
2. Click on the individual scans you wish be stitched into a single image
• To select a range of files, click on the first image in the range, hold down the
SHIFT key and click on the last image in the range.
• To select all scans on the SD card to stitch, click Selection. A pull down menu
will appear then slide cursor down to choose Select All
• To unselect all scans on the SD card, click Selection. Slide cursor down the
menu that appears and click on Unselect All
• If the newly stitched scans do not appear on the screen, click on Selection,
then choose Refresh on the menu that appears.
• To choose scans in a folder other than those on your SD card, click Browse…
to navigate to a folder on your computer containing scans you would like to
stitch.
3. Click Start Stitching at top right of the screen. The program automatically stitches the
scans together into a single image. It then displays the stitched image using your default
photo editing or viewing program, and automatically saves the stitched image in the same
folder as the original images with the name Stitch[first image]-[last image].jpg, using
the names of the first and last files you used.
4. If your default photo viewing program is also a photo editor, you can use it at this point to
crop, rotate or make other edits to the image. Otherwise, you can use a photo editor at
any point in the future. As a good practice, you may want to save the photo with a unique
name by clicking File, then Save As or Copy As.
NOTE: If you stitch the same images again, the stitching software uses the same name as
above, Stitch [first image]-[last image].jpg, over-writing any previous stitched image with that
name.
