Photoshop Merge Tool merges a landscape panorama picture

Introduction:
My name is Alvaro Guzman, engaged in website development and graphic design work. For me digital design is a modern art, and I can explore emerging technologies and deliver clear messages to the public.

Look, this is the picture we're going to make.

1th Step: Before flattening
Panoramic picture? Just take a few photos and then piece them together in Photoshop. You can use the automatic Photoshop Merge tool, or use the Stamp tool manually. Because any so-called "automatic" thing is not 100% accurate, so we will combine the two.

Obviously, the first step is to take a picture, but the panoramic picture is not very good to shoot. I used a set of photos taken by my friend Alvaro Gumucio aka Gumo, who used Nikon D700 especially for psdtuts+. He said: "I carry a tripod, holding the camera, spent three hours, is to find a suitable place." Finally, I climbed up a hill, braced the tripod and started taking pictures. ”

To take such a picture, you need a neat place, with no branches, wires, or anything else blocking it. (Figure 01)

Step 2nd: Set up and adjust the camera
To have a tripod to place the camera. A tripod can be replaced by any stable thing, such as a box, table, etc. In short, there is a horizontal plane that can rotate the camera in the future. Try to make sure the camera is horizontal, or else the picture will be skewed (see later). Everything is ready to start taking pictures. (Figure 02)

3rd Step: Shooting
There are a few things to note when taking a panoramic picture and click here to see the details.

In short, you can start shooting. Each time, the camera rotates some angles. Here, our photographer took seven photos from left to right, each 20 degrees apart, that is, a total of 140 degrees. Intuition can be used to determine the angle, but also some mathematical tools to obtain an accurate angle. Not too many photos, you can also take a real 360 panorama. It's good to have a "panorama-1" or something else in the name. (Figure 03)
