How Can I Use Gigapan Uploader?

Using Gigapan uploader is a piece of cake! You just need:

1. a panorama larger than 50 megapixels.
2. a Gigapan account

Here is a snapshot of Gigapan uploader (Click on the photo to enlarge):

First, you should choose your panorama. Second, choose a title for your gigapan panorama, write some description for that, and add some tags. If you check the private box, your photo will not be shown for public but just for you; however, you can make your photo public later. Then, you should enter your username and password. If you haven't registered on gigapan, you can create a free account here. At last, click on "Upload now"!

Depending on the size of you panorama and your Internet connection speed, you should wait a while for the photo to be uploaded. When uploading finishes, a link will appear for you; click on the link to go to your gigapan directly. At first it looks complicated, but after uploading 3 or more photos it will be much easier. Good Luck with Gigapan Uploading!
