Hi!! This is time for photoshop!
In this video I show you how to join some images taken with a normal digital camera into a big panoramic photograph:
The video is a timelapse, with voice comments over it, so you can understand what happens without having to wait for the entire process ;)
Hope you like it!

Thx for this new tutorial!
Glad you liked it, Riko ;)
Hi there,
a very quick but also good looking method to generate panoramas is to use photomerge. Its a little tool thats integratet in photoshop cs3. You can find it in data -> automatics -> photomegre. I use the german version of Photshop so i dont know if its realy called "automatics". But with a little search you will find it.
In photomerge you can import your pictures an all the outher things like overlaying or colorcorection is done automaticly.
I think the manual way hast his advantages, like to highlighting some details you want in your picture put to save a lot of time photomerge is a quick, easy and goodlooking way.
I used it manytimes and was never disapointed.
(sorry for my bad english but im not a nativ speaker)
Don't worry about your english, is fine ;) After publishing this tutorial, a reader told about that photomerge function, and after using it, I found that it's quite useful!! It works just nice! :D
But on this tutorial I wanted to show how to make it manually, because for several things, it can be interesting to know how to make it :) (Things such as matte painting, for example)
Thanks for the tip!
Can you do the same with Gimp? / with the same ease?
In any case, what are Gimp limitations for you, or is Gimp just as good as Photoshop?
Well, it can be done... but I personally don't think that I can do it with the same ease.
Gimp is very powerful, but some things, like the distortion I used on this video... aren't as powerful as in photoshop, at least for what I've seen so far. Also, the layer styles, masks and a lot of things are more complete on photoshop ;)
It depends on what you want to do, or you are used to ;)
I've used a program called "Hugin" in the past, It's free, opensource, and pretty effective.
Wow! Thanks for the pluging, overkill! I didn't know about this software, and it seems to be quite cool! Also, I discovered after making this tutorial, that photoshop itself has a cool option for making panoramics: photomerge.
Anyway! I'll give hugin a try!
