Making a panorama image
I have 5 minutes of a panning shot of an open field. What I’ve been asked to do is make one long image of this open filed. My initial thought was I have to export each frame as a TIFF file and stitch it together in photoshop.. Is this the only (and best) way of doing this? I notice there is an option of exporting ‘filmstrip’ although the file type is foreign to me..any ideas would be much appreciated
Thank you,
Pete -

Search the web for “panorama software”, you’ll probably turn up some things like “Pixtra”, “panorama tools”, and “Stitcher”. Software apps that will stitch together images into a seamless pano. You would probably start with a few exported still frames, each overlapping the previous by about 1/3. Then let the software do it’s thing. It’s easier than it sounds, and none of the programs (except possibly Stitcher) are very expensive.

You probably don’t have to export each frame. Try exporting 5 frames and see if that helps.
And yes, Photoshop does have some decent tools that can help you accomplish your task. However, if you have the latest version of Photoshop, you are in luck, because it does include some advanced tools.

CS2 and up contains Photomerge which does Panoramas, or Photoshop Elements will do them, its best to select frames that slightly overlap to merge
