How I made these panoramas:-

·         I used a Kodak DC210 digital camera. I photographed approximately 16 to 20 photos to get 1 panorama.

·         I take them off the camera and use Adobe Photoshop 5.5 to stitch them together and modify the size and rebalance the colour, contrast, and brightness of the individual shots. 

·         I pasted each photo on a different layer of a new image of about 2000 pixels wide. 

·         I made sure to get plenty of overlap on each image, and then used the eraser tool to blend to images together.

·         I have found that you should use the soft edged eraser to blend the sky areas together and use the hard edge eraser when dealing with detailed areas.

·         I do this, as the soft edged eraser tends to make the image look like it is out of focus when you are working with detail.

·         I have found often times that you have to rebalance to sky and the ground sections of the images separately for it to work properly.

·         I have used the guides tool to align the horizon on one end of the image with the other and use the skew tool to distort the image into alignment (as it always goes out of alignment). Make sure the layers have been merged before you do this. 

·         The shots that contain pictures of buildings are the hardest to work on because of the problem of perspective distortion. The areas that contain foliage are the easiest to work on because you do not get that problem.
