Panoramic Photography

Process• To get a panoramic image I had to take 5 photos moving in a circle by

using a tripod to make sure the images were in the same place and at the same level.

• Once I had taken 6 sets of 5 photos I then uploaded the pictures onto the computer and opened Photoshop.

• On Photoshop I then went into File > Automate> Photomerge and clicked photomerge.

• A panel appeared and I selected auto on the left hand pane and clicked files on the middle pane.

• I then clicked on browse and selected the picture files that I wanted to be merged together by holding shift to select a set of 5 pictures together. I then clicked ok once all the files were listed in the middle pane.

• Photoshop then automatically ‘stitched’ all my photos together to make one large image created by the 5 images I took in succession around one area.

Why it may not have worked

• The photo doesn’t belong to the sequence• If the camera has been moved up or down

slightly• The light, colour or tone may have changed

between pictures and it cant be matched to the other
