Customizing Settings
  • Start the Bigshot software.
  • If you wish to edit a pre-existing custom settings, then select the settings file you wish to edit by clicking the Choose Settings button.  If not, the software will create a new settings file from the default values.
  • Click on the Photo Wizard button.
Bigshot Photo Wizard
The Photo Wizard can be used to create and edit custom settings for automatic photo processing.  This section describes the basic work flow for creating custom settings.  But first, let us get familiar with the wizard’s interface.

  1. Original photo.
  2. Processed photo at current step.
  3. Buttons to zoom in to and zoom out of the photos.
  4. Buttons to load a new photo and save the current processed photo.
  5. Buttons to load a new custom settings from a file and save the current custom settings to a file.
  6. The Bigshot software applies the five image processing steps shown in the box, in the given order.
  7. Use the two buttons to go to the next and previous image processing steps.
  8. A set of controls or handles to change the settings for each image processing operation.
Photo Wizard Workflow
  • Load a raw captured photo of the type (normal, panoramic or stereo) whose corresponding image processing settings you wish to modify.  For example, if you wish to change the disparity in a 3D stereo photo, then load a photo captured using the stereo prism.
  • Modify the image processing settings for each step (described in more detail later).
  • After stepping through all five pages, save the settings to a file.  You will now be able to choose this settings file for automatic processing of photos.
