This is three shots stitched in photoshop for a panorama effect. Can you tell where it was stitched? I ask just to see if I did it right.

Hi Val

I would say through the tents and the tall masted ship.
I say this only because I have found that photoshop tends to join in sloping bands from right to left and it looks like a change in colour in these areas. I do not use photoshop because of this but I use autostitch.
The joins are perfect otherwise.
I think the latest photoshop may have corrected this.

Regards

Kiffin

Hey Kiffin,
Not going to say yes or no to your comments just yet. Will wait and see if anyone else has a notion where the joins are.
Thanks val

well you can't miss the stitching. As soon that you look at the image you see something wrong. The scene is beautiful but the stitching is the worse I ever saw, I can see 2 the first is in the right side where the picnic table ends and the second is a little bit left from the center of the image, you can't miss the blur, in the sky you can see it so good. And i didn't even put my glasses.

Keep trying and playing

Thanks Rina, so succint! My apologies for the worst ever stiching you have yet seen. Would you care to explain to me how the obvious can be made invisible using Photoshop CS? I am not saying that your observation is correct as there may be others wishing to comment.

Sorry for being rude in my comment but to ask if anyone can see the stitching that was a good laugh, I mean you need to be blind not to see.As for how to di, I have no idea, do a search on google and write "panorama on photoshop" I'm sure something will come out, that's how I learn things there.

Cheers,

Can you see the diagonal band of different colour running from top right to left in the centre. This is a fault of CS2. I do not use it I use Autostitch give it a try, it used to be free.

Your first observation is correct Kiffin. Try as i did the stitch was not that good, even slightly using the blur tool never fixed it. I will look for your suggestion. I really like attempting panorama shots. Eventually I will get it right.
