Blending in stitch lines for panoramaic photos There are 2 faint vertical lines near the centre of the following photo. They appear because of the "stitching" of 3 pictures put together to make a panoramic photo. http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/dynoGallDetail.php?photoID=2548694&catID=&style=&rowNumber=12&memberID=180293 Im wondering what can be done to blend in the lines so they dont look so obvious. I tried to "clone" them in with Adobe photoshop, but it didnt turn out so good. Any other ideas? Thanks,

Hi Justin, i've done a couple of pano's and where there has been a line, cloning has worked better for me than healing brush. I know some people use it, but I have more luck with cloning. I've found that the best way to shoot pano's, is using manual - that way you have a consistency all the way through.

Justin, when I have a tough clone I try lowering the opacity down to maybe 20 or whatever works and just clone faintly and repeat if necessary. Also did you use exposure lock when taking the shots. My first pano I couldn't under stand the lines and I'm pretty sure it was vignetting of the lense. Just for future reference. Good luck

Darren, the best thing is to do this manually. Take a couple of exposure readings all over your pano, (don't use spot metering) and then decide which one you're goin to use, and then shoot away. Its not so much the vignetting, as the camera compensating. If you are getting vignetting, then don't open up to your full angle, that'll eliminate the vignetting. If you use the same exposure and shutter speed throughout the series, then you can also use a little bit of dodge and burn. Hope it helps
