How To Create a Panoramic Photo Using Photoshop

A panoramic picture is one that has a lengthened field of view. They are incredibly easy to create in Adobe Photoshop.

Steps for Taking the Pictures

1. Leave the camera in one place. If possible, use a tripod.
2. Take the pictures. Start at the left side.
3. Include half of the previous picture in your next picture. It will make the stitching process easier.
4. Check to make sure you took pictures of the whole scene before leaving.

Steps for Making the Panorama

1. Open Photoshop.
2. Click File > Automate > Photomerge...
3. Select "Reposition Only".
4. Click "Browse..." and select the pictures that will make up the panorama.
5. Click "OK".
6. Wait for Photoshop to finish creating the panorama.
7. Click File > Save As... to save the file.

Tips

• Make sure you get some each object in at least two pictures.
• The more pictures you have, the better it will look, but the longer it will take.
• Make sure all the pictures are at the same angle, and about the same size.
• Save it as a JPEG if you know you're not going to work on the image anymore. Save it as a PSD if you think you're going to work on the image more (each time a JPEG is saved, the image is compressed again).

Warnings

• There may be some small little areas messed up, but these are very rare.
