Photomerge: Snapshots to Poster Prints
You can create stunning panoramas by “stitching” together several adjoining images with Photomerge. Then, with just a few tweaks, you can create a poster print for your home or office.
Shooting a panorama is easy if you keep a few things in mind;
- Overlap your images by at least 1/3rd when photographing.
- Set your exposure manually, if possible, to avoid dramatically different lighting conditions across your panorama.
- Shoot 6 to 8 frames across your horizon, then pick from the best.
- Please Note: Merging many images together can create some massive file sizes. Be aware…
Once you have your images, go to [File> Automate> Photomerge...] From the Photomerge dialog box, Use [Files, Folders, or Open files] Select Files and click [Browse] to locate the images you want to use. Once selected, the names of your images will appear in the window. By default, Attempt to Arrange source Images will be checked, if you uncheck this you will have to order the pictures yourself. Photomerge does a pretty good job, so I leave it checked. Then click OK.
