hi everybody...
i already asked once how to do panoramas... i have the 'photeshop elements 4' and know now how to stich them together. But my problem is that i couldn't figure out how to correct the different lights from each picture. you can still see that its stiched.
Maybe someone can help?
i really would apriciate it!! ;-)
my last tryout:
thanks

Hi Bunny,
when taking pictures with the intention of 'stitching' them, make sure the lighting is even across all views and take the pics from the same distances and point etc. This will help with light and depth of colour etc, but you can also 'tweak' the saturation or colour BEFORE stitching to make sure they match up ok.
Perhaps post the individual shots and I can see what I can do ~ I may not do any better in which case I will be no help though :)
I also use the 'clone' tool to fix small areas when needed.
Have fun Bunny ~ Erin

Thanks Erin!
I took 3 pictures and used the flash because it was inside and dark. thats why the light is so different. the ones with nightshot-feature didn't came out sharp enough. .
I tried (not this time though) to fix it befor stiching, but this is very difficult either!
I tryed a few things out and because it didn't work i posted here my problem again. the original i deleted already... :-(
i think i have to wait untill i pay my new notebook, this one makes me grazy.. slow and i have to save all space, so i delete quiet fast! then i can try with more passion.. ;-)
thanks
greetings Karin

Perhaps your camera have a special mode (panorama). It preserve the same adjustment and all your photos have the same lights. I think it facilitate the 'stitching' with photoshop although it's not perfect so I use it as soon as think I'll do a panorama later. (Sorry for my English, I expect I'll be understand)

thanks nature
my old camera had a panorama feature, but not the digital i now use...
I know there is a possibility of correction in photoshop, but i have no idea how it works!
I now bought a book to learn more about photoshop... but did't haad time yet to learn!

Hi Bunny,
I have been using a powerful tool for my panoramas : Pano Tools Assembler (http://www.tawbaware.com/ptasmblr.htm, shareware with evaluation period, then $39). It is to be used with Photoshop. As it creates layers for each stitched element, you can work on lights and colours individually.
This tool also lets you shoot manually (without tripod) because it will correct your small alignment mistakes. At the beginning it seems complexe and long at usage, but then you work faster and faster. And the result is really fantastic.
Here are some results:
Another point is when you shoot for panoramas, nearly all must be in manual mode:
- Focus set to a distant point (if landscape)
- Aperture and Shooting time (for exposition)
- And an important feature on digital cameras : the white balance which must be set according to your environment lighting (sun, bulbs, fluo, cloud...). Otherwise, your colors will be terribly different between shots.
Good work,
Xavier

Take a light measurement from the dark part and from the light part and then choose something in between. Shoot al your pictures in manual mode en you will have matching colors.
A great freeware tool is Hugin. It will try to match your photo's in all sort of directions automatically. I shot some picture out of free hand, put those in Hugin and this was the result.
The moving people are a bit of a problem of course but still, I was impressed by the intelligence of the tool.

Like RonaldV, I use hugin for freeware, and manual mode for the exposures, but I take one extra precaution: I set the white balance to Sunny instead of Auto. This makes sure the camera doesn't decide to switch between white balance settings.
Hugin, however, can be very forgiving when you use it with the option PTstitcher and select brightness correction or colour correction. Here you see an example of a panorama which I stitched from images that I accidentally shot with auto white balance. The shadow pictures had a red hue and the bright light pictures looked greenish. As you can see, only slight colour errors remain in the darker parts at the bottom.
Like RonaldV, I took the pictures without the help of a tripod. There are twelve of them in this pano. Try it yourself, it is a nice experiment at zero costs.

I use Panorama maker 3.5 from http://www.arcsoft.com/
It's really a perfect program, it does all the work for you and the results are very good in my opinion. Take a look at the example.
