Making a 'larger than landscape mode' panorama?

[jhamonphoto]

Has anyone got experience shooting 'wider' vertically when doing panoramas and using the stitching in Photoshop CS5?

ie: if I shoot frames in panoramic and then do a slight tilt up pass and a slight tilt down pass, when I auto align the layers in stitching, will Photoshop have any clue as to what I'm trying to do?

Does it help the software if I make a much larger canvas first to allow for that space?

Short of trying it, just wondering if anyone has experience with that.

Thanks
Jeff

You can do panos from inside Bridge.
PS will set the proper canvas size.

With the proper overlaps PS should also correctly place the images and color blend them.
