Panagram I have been asked to do a panagram of a landscape but have no idea how to do this. I have Photoshop CS3 so if someone could help me out that would be great. Thanks Jared

Hello Jared, Do you mean take a Panoramic shot? If so, use a tripod ( they do make heads for a tripod made just for taking Panoramic images ) and set your shot up.. and for each image in the series needed to make the panoramic.. overlap them by atlast 1/4 so that photoshop can stich them for you evenly. To use that feature in Photoshop CS3 its found in File> Automate> photo merge. It will ask you for all your pics that you took to make one panoramic image.. and it will put them all together for you... I hope this helpls.. good luck.. Robert

I forgot to mention that if you are going to be using the Nikon SLR that took all the great images you have in your gallery, you may have have a panormaic setting in there but.. you might have to use a Nikon memory card for that featature to work.. I say that becasue in my Olympus Evolt E-510 DLSR, I would have to have a Olympus xD card for that feature to be acessable on the menu...

The easiest way to make a panorama is to take a series of photos, overlapping by about 30%. If you are using a general photo editing program like photoshop, keep the exposure, focus and focal length the same (turn off autofocus and go to manual exposure), otherswise the variations in image density accross the image will cause you headaches. If you choose to use a specialist programme to do the image merge, this matters less: the best ones will deal with this automatically (try one of the free ones at http://www.all-in-one.ee/~dersch/ or http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~mbrown/autostitch/autostitch.html). Using Paintshop or Photoshop, open new image canvas larger than the final panorama, then import each image into a separate layer. Once you have them correctly positioned you can merge the layers and tidy up any areas using standard tools like clone, blur, soften aburn etc.

Of course. the more images you load, the more memory you need and the larger the final file. Moving objects are hard to deal with but one technique tht works is to take all the images for the background first before anyone or thing enters, then shoot individual frames and paste these in later. That's how the bird pano was made. Panos are fun to do, but not always simple.
