Automatic Multiplicity Image Stitcher. Aquiplicity is an executable program project conceived and developed by Mr. Tracy Rose to create an artsy multiplicity image. The idea is a software that outputs one image from several images where the actor or actors are photographed in multiple shots and then are stitched into a singular scene. The same actor then shows up multiple times in one image! If you've ever dealt with panorama images you've seen multiple images stitched side-by-side. This is different from a multiplicity shot where the camera isn't moved and many images are taken in the same location, identical angle, and over a short period of time and then stitched into one final image. In sports this can be called sequence photography where you might see a motorcyclist several times in one frame as he jumps from ramp to ramp.
How to use:
1. Double click the ZIP file and Extract the files received.
2. To run the program, double left-click Aquiplicity software name from the extracted folder.
3. Left-click "Add Images" and browse to the folder location your multiplicity images are located.
4. Left-click "Add Images" and browse to the folder location your multiplicity images are located.
5. The main product-image should appear in the large viewing space to left of the thumbnails list. If the images originally input are very large you can drag the product-image to pan around and check your work or use the ZOOM tool to zoom outward.
6. Occasionally one might photograph two or three actors in the exact same image-space. After composing the image the actors appear on top of each other or mixed together in the image.
7. The SAVE AS button will appear below the COMPOSE button only after the image is created. At this point some touch-up to your multiplicity can be accomplished.
8. Use the DETAIL Tool (polygon lasso) by holding down the Ctrl key and simultaneously holding down
9. the left-mouse button while proceeding to draw around the actor in the layer you desire to bring to the top layer forward. Where the lasso begins is where the layer is chosen.
10. Use the UNDO button or the space bar if an incorrect layer is chosen. This will undo your last change only.
11. Use the ZOOM slider for very fine lasso areas such as actors overlapping other actors in your scene. One can zoom out to the full extent of the image for a better view.
12. Use the SAVE button to create a final product output. Aquiplicity fills the image name automatically. Change the output name if desired before saving.
13. To create another multiplicity left-click the CLEAR button and reopen more images. When completed, close the program.
