1 Creating a Panorama Photograph Using Photoshop Elements Following are guidelines when shooting photographs for a panorama. Overlap images sufficiently -- Images should overlap approximately 15% to 40%. If the overlap is less, Photomerge may not be able to automatically assemble the panorama. If images overlap by 50% or more, it can be difficult to work with them and blending may not be as effective. Rather than shooting in landscape, try shooting in portrait. More edges available for aligning. Use a consistent focal length -- Avoid using the zoom feature of your camera while taking your pictures. Keep the camera level -- Although Photomerge can process slight rotations between pictures, a tilt of more than a few degrees can result in errors when automatically assembling the panorama. Using a tripod with a rotating head helps maintain camera alignment and viewpoint. Tip: When photographing a panoramic scene from a high place, the natural inclination is to keep the horizon level in the viewfinder. However, this actually produces a noticeable rotation between images. Try using a tripod to keep the camera level when taking photographs in this situation. Stay in the same position -- Try not to change your location as you take a series of photographs, so that the pictures are from the same viewpoint. Using the optical viewfinder with the camera held close to the eye helps keep the viewpoint consistent. Or try using a tripod to keep the camera in the same place. Avoid using distortion lenses -- Lenses, such as fish-eye lenses, that noticeably distort the image can interfere with Photomerge Panorama. Maintain the same exposure -- Avoid using the flash in some pictures and not in others. The advanced blending feature in Photomerge Panorama helps smooth out different exposures, but extreme differences make alignment difficult. Some digital cameras change exposure settings automatically as you take pictures, so you may need to check your camera settings to be sure that all the images have the same exposure. File Type Photoshop Elements cannot process 16 bit files. If using camera raw be sure file is saved as 8 bit. Post Processing Any post processing should be done after files have been merged. Photoshop Elements looks for hard edges when stitching panorama and will do a small amount of exposure compensation.

2 Identify shots - Take a photo before and after the pano series of photos to identify them. Some photographers use a photo of their hand or fingers before and after shooting the series. Photoshop Elements 10 In full Edit Mode select File > New > Photomerge Panorama Photoshop Elements 11 or 12 In Expert Mode select Enhance > Photomerge > Photomerge Panorama

3 Files for stitching can be selected individually or a folder containing the files can be selected. Choose a layout option from the list on the left side: Auto -- Analyzes the source images and applies either a Perspective or Cylindrical layout, depending on which produces a better photomerge. Perspective -- Creates a consistent composition by designating one of the source images (by default, the middle image) as the reference image. The other images are then transformed (repositioned, stretched, or skewed as necessary) so that overlapping content layer is matched. Cylindrical-- Reduces the bow-tie distortion that can occur with the Perspective layout by displaying individual images as on an unfolded cylinder. Overlapping content is still matched. The reference image is placed at the center. This is best suited for creating wide panoramas. Spherical -- Aligns and transforms the images as if they were for mapping the inside of a sphere. If you have taken a set of images that cover 360 degrees, use this for 360 degree panoramas. You might also use Spherical to produce nice panoramic results with other file sets. Collage -- Aligns the layers and matches overlapping content and transforms (rotate or scale) any of the source layers. Reposition -- Aligns the layers and matches overlapping content, but does not transform (stretch or skew) any of the source images. Interactive Layout -- Choose this option to open the source images in a dialog box and position them manually.

4 Optional Layout Options Blend Images Together -- Finds the optimal borders between the images and creates seams based on those borders, and to color match the images. With Blend Images Together turned off, a simple rectangular blend is performed. This may be preferable if you intend to retouch the blending masks by hand. Vignette Removal -- Removes and performs exposure compensation in images that have darkened edges caused by lens flaws or improper lens shading. Geometric Distortion Correction -- Compensates for barrel, pincushion, or fisheye distortion. Once the source files are selected and the layout options are checked, select OK. Source files Layout Options

5 Processing may take time, and various messages appear on the screen depending on the layout options selected. Once processing is finished, if you would like the system to auto fill the edges. The layers on the right are the source files used to create the pano. There is a layer mask linked to each source photo indicating the portion of the photo used. At this point the layers can be flattened into a single layer or merged.
