Well, in Fargo we are fortunate to have a couple nice yarn shops. One that I tend to visit most often is Prairie Yarns. When the owner asked me to take a few pictures of the new shop (they moved into a new site last fall) and of course I jumped at the opportunity to support another local business. She wanted a panoramic image and I didn't have enough space to just get it all in one shot; this required me to take several shots then compile them into one.
Here's the result-
To do this using Photoshop here are the steps:
1.) Shoot several overlapping images and get 'em on your computer (its best that they are all the same camera settings, so use manual settings on your SLR to ensure your color/shutter/aperture, etc. is consistent)
2.) In Photoshop, click on File --> Automate --> Photomerge
3.) A dialog box will show up and that's where you'll pick which images are going to be combined
4.) Wait patiently as Photoshop processes the files. If you only 3-4 it shouldn't take too long, but its does take some processing time.
5.) Once its done, THEN do your image adjustments for contrast, brightness, etc. so that the same setting is used for the whole image
Voila, thats it! Really, its that easy!
