PS CS1 Photomerge
I tried a 3 shot pano last night, on the Mac, and used the auto stitch in CS. The three photos were all shot in M mode and the exposures look the same across the board, except when i stitch, i get 2 distinct lines at about 40 degrees or so coming from the top middle and out to the far sides of the photo. Are there a mass of things that need to be set up here, or is auto merge not a great thing to use.

Re: PS CS1 Photomerge
CS3 photomerge should work fine. I use panoramafactory and ptgui. Panoramafactory is very easy to use and includes tools for finetuning the result. If you want total control you need ptgui.

Google for AutoStitch - it's freeware and does a really nice job. -p Mark Roberts wrote: > David J Brooks wrote: > >> I tried a 3 shot pano last night, on the Mac, and used the auto stitch >> in CS.

Re: PS CS1 Photomerge
Thanks all. I took a number of pano shots up by the parking area, just before and just after Mark started the climb up to the peak. I like what i have,meaning i finally have good exposures in misty conditions, and i really hope to get a good pano. I'll look at the ones Ken and Paul suggested.
