Landscape Before and After

Before




After

Pretty much just cloned out shadows, fixed some funky colored Haloing around the water features, aligned the walking paths because they were misaligned. Also cloned out some other distracting objects such as towers in the skyline and people on running path and on the hill and tried to color correct / clone in areas so the seams of the 3 images were not as apparent.

Awesome work tricky!

Thank you iDad. Was one of my first panorama's I've done and I was pleasantly surprised myself!

[iDad]

could use that after one for banner header work..........you mind?

[Steve]

I like it.
I tried panos a couple of times, they're fun to play with.

Did you remove the seam between the images by hand?
I assume you did since the before shows seams.

There's a Blend Images Together option the bottom of the photomerge screen that does a pretty good job of doing that for you.

[tricky500]

iDad - Yes you can use it.

Steve - Yes I blended the seam with a mask and changed the exposure on the right side and cloned out parts of the seam to make it blend better. I haven't tried photomerge yet. I used some software that came with my camera and suspect I did a bad job with it lol. I just decided it would be easier to fix in PS. I might try photomerge next time since I am comfortable with the PS UI.

[Steve]

No I thought you did a great job.
I've only used PS Photomerge a few times it's really simple.
The Automatic setting and Blend Images Together worked well for me when I tried it.
In CS5 there's also Vignette Removal and Geometric Distortion Correction check boxes, I haven't tried them.

[tricky500]

Distortion correction feature sounds awesome...

[Steve]

I gave it a try.
No check boxes, and all check boxes.

No other adjustement.

[iDad]

haven't had a reason to try it, but can't wait! thats awesome Steve!
