I don't agree. Technically they are functions of the stitching engine, but to 
the user, Image size, format and compression are all parameters of the output 
(of the image) while the Interpolator is more of a technical setting, 
belonging to the stitcher.

Technically there is no need to put parameters that belong to the same thing 
together. This is a fault made in many UI's.

(Sorry, that sounded a bit attacking, not meant as such)

Can anyone explain me (or point me a link to) the several components being 
used and how they work together? Why won't PTStitcher get new interpolator 
options?
