Photo Restoration - - Panoramas

I came across some panorama "how to" pages today, it dawned on me that retouching is very important for these (plus it looks very cool).

Any panorama fans here? I might just try this as a summer vacation project this year.

This is one of my favorite photos ever.

At one time or another we've all taken a series of hand held photos of a wide/ tall scene, we've violated all the rules and ended up with this series of images that we taped together to make our "pan-o-rama".

Well I have a bunch [18] of such shots done by my daughter a couple of years ago at the Base camp of Annapurna. Not only are they exposed differently, they are even at different angles to each other. However, when taped together, they make an impressive pano.

I want to do it in photoshop, I hope your tut will show me how.

The link to your favourite image is currently not available, so can't see it.

It was a query URL, so it expired. Hopefully I found the direct link. It should work now.

Can understand why you like it. You can almost feel the trees growing. Great texture, great lighting. Thanks for the link.

I have a few in an album on my site. I cheat and use Panorama Factory for my stuff. It is a bit of a learning curve but alot of fun nonetheless!

I can't see how that would be cheating. Seems like a perfectly fine solution.

So far so good

Try this thread, http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/sho...ight=panoramic
The linked tutorial helps to match any exposure differences.
I used this technique on these here

plus a lot of cloning

I find when I have a wide angle lens tilted up, it's easier to do by hand in photoshop using layers and a large, diffuse brush on a mask.
