My understanding is that Panoramas Stitching (=>PaSt) feature is available with PhotoShop Elements (PE). I am not familiar with the PE product. Is PE a stand alone product or does it require PS?
Is PaSt available with PS (with which minimum ver.)?
I read here in the forums that there are various capacity problems with PaSt.
In that regard, and any other aspect, if PaSt is available with PS, what are the main differences using PS or PE with PaSt feature?
When I make panoramas in Photoshop CS6 (after selecting and preparing individual images in LR4), I sometimes wish to modify Photoshop's automatic blending of layers. An example is when a moving person is in two or more adjacent frames & I wish to use a version from a different frame than PS selects. The layer masks are all either pure white or pure black, thus selecting the portions of each frame that is used, but with no gray portions for blending. Opacity of all layers is 100%. So, some other invisible-to-me mechanism is being used to seamlessly blend the layers. When I try to select portions of a different frame (in areas of overlap) by painting white on a mask and black on layer masks above it in the stack, I can partially make visible the desired area but it appears as partially transparent & thus low contrast. How can I get full control of what is included in the final composite?
I'm not sure if this topic has been covered before, but I could not find it.
I've folders of photographs taken with a digital camera (jpegs) which I need to print index to include other informations such as FileName, Date, Exposure and Camera used, etc.
I've tried Automate - PDF, but that has limited options for the output. I do know other software can do it. Nevertheless, I just want to find out how Photoshop do it.
I am trying to shoot a panorama (6 - 7 photos) and merge the photos using Photoshop. Photoshop is doing a nice job of merging the scenes. However, the shade of the sky on each photo is a little different (the buildings and other objects look fine, or at least differences aren't perceptible) thus, I have distinct lines between each photo in the sky (or water) areas. How can I correct this in Photoshop (I'm a casual PS user, and I have PS CS2) so that all the sky (and water) areas look the same?
I have 3 images I want to make into a landscape panorama and Photoshop will not stitch them together. I have made this panorama before using Elements 10 so I cannot understand why it's doing this.
Shooting 'wider' vertically when doing panoramas and using the stitching in Photoshop CS5?
i.e. : if I shoot frames in panoramic and then do a slight tilt up pass and a slight tilt down pass, when I auto align the layers in stitching, will Photoshop have any clue as to what I'm trying to do? Does it is good for the software if I make a much larger canvas first to allow for that space?
Would someone please explain why a panorama consisting of 27 images totaling 36MB becomes an 800+/-MB file necessitating it be saved as a ".psb," "Photoshop RAW" or .TIFF file?
I would like to open this file on computers that do not have Photoshop CS, CS2, CS3 loaded eliminating the .psb/Photoshop RAW and so far I have only been able to save the image as a corrupted .TIFF file, i.e. does not open properly.
I have PSE7 and have always been able to do panoramas. Today when I attempt the app crashes. I restart and it does this many times. I have win 7 that automatically updates. Are there conflicts in updating?
I have a new virtual tour 360 business and I want to "perfect" my panos. After I stitch the four pictures together, I'm left with the tripod showing on the bottom of the pano. I want to delete the tripod, but don't know the best way to do this. I have been trying to do this with smart carver, but it seems to take a long time and not having the success I would like. I thought it might be easier if I took a picture of where the tripod was, minus the tripod and then merge the two pictures together. It needs to be perfect, because there might be an instance of a wood floor that needs to match up.
I'm making skins for Vst software synthesizers & FX and use Photoshop CS2 (and partly 3ds Max 7) for my projects.
The main tricky things I face problem with are VU meters, faders and mainly knobs. In general all I have to do is make 128 (or less) differrent frames of the moving knob and then stitch them perfectly one above the other vertically and then export the final image (the mondage) as tga file 32 bit uncompressed with Alpha channel for the transparency. They must be perfectly stitched (not even a pixel wrong) or else the knob or fader will wobble as you move it.
I manage fine with square VUs & faders where no transparency is present (I have also recorded an action for this) but can't find a way to deal with frames which have transparent background such as knobs or circular VUs (or even square faders which have a transparent space around them).
The procedure I follow is:
-Open frame1 file (which also has Layer Fx as shadows, bevel etc)
-Ctrl+click on the knob layer icon to select it.
-Select inverse
-Layer Mask-Hide Selection (from the Layer menu)
-Canvas size: same width, double hight added down
-From the Channels tab I make visible the mask I created earlier
-On the image: Magic Wand (not anti-aliased checked, tolerance=32) on the unmasked square underneth my mask to select it
-Delete the mask channel.
-Open frame 2 document
-Select all & Copy Merged
-On frame 1 document: paste into.
-.....I continue in the same way for all the frames till done.
2 problems:
1) Sometimes the frames are not perfectly alligned to each other causing wobbles while used as knobs or VUs.
2) If what I design is not dead centered (sometimes I want it to be this way),
then when I Paste Into, Photoshop automatically alligns it to the selection borders (the center of the square selection) even though I have deselected Snap from the View menu. (..don't forget we are talking for transparent background)
I'm having trouble stitching photos together in CS4.I am stitching together photos from microscopic flourescence images. I am trying to get a single image of the entire specimen but every time I try photomerge it leaves one of the images in the corner. It does a great job of adding all of the other images together but every time it refuses to add the last image (it could be the first, the point is that it is an image on one of the ends).
took a huge number of pictures. I tried to take a sort of 'panoramic' picture by holding the camera steady and rotating it (just rotating the camera, not moving it's location or anything). I ended up with a whole bunch of photos and now I want to stitch them together. I have 3 photos that together cover the whole panorama I want to print out.
So. I've played around a bit in Photoshop and I just can't seem to get it working. There is a bit of an overlap on each photo so my idea was to sort of choose what I wanted from each and use the eraser to give myself that effect. The problem is the perspective is screwy and it doesn't look quite right. I also have a problem with my camera in that the right side of the photo is considerably lighter than the left side, this doesn't matter for most photos but it's something I have to somehow deal with for this panorama.
When I was 12 years old, i was watching tv when i spotted Bert Monroy on ScreenSavers he was giving a tutorial bout stitching texts... since i don't know bout photoshop yet i couldn't understand a thing he was saying, but i still got fascinated bout the output....
Now that i know how to use Photoshop i couldn't meet the same results as Bert Monroy's. I Know it's abouty the Brushes Palette but i seemed to have tried all the settings but still haven't found the results i wanted.
I just need to know a few things before trying to stitch some photos I took:1. Do the pictures need to be in JPEG or RAW?2. How many pictures, at most, can I stitch? I have tried about 6 photos in RAW as it came from the camera and I think it was to much.
I shoot with an a900 and would like to stitch the ARW RAW files it produces.
Unfortunately the results are pretty awful. No matter how I import the shots (through bridge, LR or PS4 itself) or the type of RAW (DNG or ARW, even TIFFs) the wizard will align but not stitch the photos together. Plenty of examples can be found in this flickr set: Code:
How would I stitch two images together that are in portrait orientation so they display nicely in a slideshow template. My landscape images are sized to 1200 x 800 pixels which works very well with the slideshow template. I have Photoshop CS6.
I am trying to stitch together a sequence of wake boarding shots and put them into one picture. I have done it semi-successfully only once and would love to learn how to re-create this awesome effect every time. This is the one photo I did get to work... although i cant get any others to work.
I am pretty sure I didn't do this correctly but it was the only way I could figure out how. Here goes... I started by bringing in all the images into separate layers into cs3 I then selected all of them and chose Auto-Align. Once it got all of the frames onto the canvas I arranged them from left to right in to layers palette then chose the top image in to layers palette and chose create mask.
I then used the eraser tool and brought the next image through so that i could see it. Once I could see it I would move onto the second layer in the layer palette and create layer mask and do the same for all the layers.
Once done I would choose Auto-Blend and it usually leaves a few of the frames out of the picture. This is what the unsuccessful ones looked like
I have also tried not doing any of the clipping masks, by just bringing in the pictures and then going straight to AutoBlend after I did AutoAlign this is the result that yielded.
I scanned several magazine covers (believe it or not I'm one of the few who still dosen't own a digi cam) and now want to place each pic/scan side by side or one on top of the other to resemble what a picture would look like if I had taken it with a digi cam.
I decided to take a panorama of the beach I was on, and as a general the photo's came out well and all have around 20% overlap, however when I put the photos into Photomerge in Photoshop CC or CS6 it results in this:
As you can see part of the image decides to float above another part and there's even one below the lower segment. The panorama itself is 22 images, but I only used eight to try and find out if the problem was the number of images, it appears it isn't. I've tried both the "auto" and "perspective" options under the Photomerge dialogue, neither works. It should be noted that before it "blends the images", under the layers section, all of the images do line up.
I'm using the images in their RAW format (.NEF), although I did try in the .jpeg as well, neither worked.I'm running Photoshop under a VM as I'm running Ubuntu, although I did try on my Windows 8 laptop as well, again neither had a good result.
I stitched a landscape but my parallax was probably too much. See the attached photo. I have used the clone tool in the past but many new tools have been added and I think I saw somewhere that theres a way to select this with a bounding box and then warp it over.
Is there a way to put up two or more pictures on the photoshop work screen (like the example below) and stitch them together using a rectangular marquee tool instead of just blending them
