To create a panoramic photograph, the photographer took 5 photos in a circle using a tripod to ensure the images were aligned. They then uploaded the photos to Photoshop and used the Photomerge feature to automatically stitch the images together into a single panoramic photo. The panoramic photo may not merge properly if the camera moved between shots, the lighting changed, or one of the photos did not belong to the sequence.

1. Panoramic Photography

5. Process
• To get a panoramic image I had to take 5 photos moving in a circle by using
a tripod to make sure the images were in the same place and at the same
level.
• Once I had taken 6 sets of 5 photos I then uploaded the pictures onto the
computer and opened Photoshop.
• On Photoshop I then went into File > Automate> Photomerge and clicked
photomerge.
• A panel appeared and I selected auto on the left hand pane and clicked
files on the middle pane.
• I then clicked on browse and selected the picture files that I wanted to be
merged together by holding shift to select a set of 5 pictures together. I
then clicked ok once all the files were listed in the middle pane.
• Photoshop then automatically ‘stitched’ all my photos together to make
one large image created by the 5 images I took in succession around one
area.

6. Why it may not have worked
• The photo doesn’t belong to the sequence
• If the camera has been moved up or down
slightly
• The light, colour or tone may have changed
between pictures and it cant be matched to
the other
