Keep the camera level
Although Photomerge can process slight rotations between pictures, a tilt of more than a few
degrees can result in errors when the panorama is assembled. Using a tripod with a rotating head helps maintain
camera alignment and viewpoint.
When photographing a panoramic scene from a high place, the natural inclination is to keep the horizon level in the
viewfinder. However, this actually produces a noticeable rotation between images. Try using a tripod to keep the
camera level when taking photographs in this situation.
Stay in the same position
Try not to change your position as you take a series of photographs, so that the pictures
are from the same viewpoint. Using the optical viewfinder with the camera held close to the eye helps keep the
viewpoint consistent. Or try using a tripod to keep the camera in the same place.
Avoid using distortion lenses
Fish-eye and other distortion lenses can interfere with Photomerge.
Maintain the same exposure
Avoid using the flash in some pictures and not in others. The advanced blending
feature in Photomerge helps smooth out different exposures, but extreme differences make alignment difficult. Some
digital cameras change exposure settings automatically as you take pictures, so you may need to check your camera
settings to be sure that all the images have the same exposure.
Using the Photomerge dialog box
The Photomerge dialog box contains tools for manipulating the composition, a lightbox for storing source images
that are not in use, a work area for assembling the composition, and options for viewing and editing the composition.
You can also zoom in and out to check the alignment of each file.
