How to create panorama shots using Adobe Photoshops Photomerge

Posted on 04 March 2008 by Dustin

This is a post about how to make a panoramic shot using multiple photos and Adobe Photoshop’s Photomerge.

(you can find photomerge in photoshop under File-automate-photomerge)

Each of the shots below where taken with 3 to 15 photos each then stitch together (automatically) in Photomerge.

This process is really easy and when you are done you have a shot that is not only wider than any lens you own but can also be printed to absolutely ridiculous size.

The first step is to take the photos. I recommend that you use your camera in the vertical position so you get more of the top and bottom of the scene in view.

The next part is the trickiest part. When rotating the camera around to capture the sides of the scene you should keep your lens in the same spot and move your camera. (see photo below)

By doing this. It will make it easier for photomerge to stitch the photos together because it will get rid of some of the distortion.

You want to over lap your photos as much as possible so photoshop has a lot to work with.

Examples below.
