{Fish Market} Salt Lake City, UT
Edits: adjusted curves and added a color burn vignette.
Directions for photo merging:
1. Use a tripod to take several side-by-side images of the same scene. Be sure to overlap each image with at least 25% from the previous image.
2. In Photoshop, go to File-Automate-Photomerge. Under Layout, choose Auto or Perspective. Then Browse to your folder of images and select all images at once (click the first one, hold shift, then click the last image). Be sure "Blend images together" is checked. Hit OK.
3. Wait for the magic to happen.
4. Once your images are blended, you will need to use the crop tool (with no numbers in the pre-set) to crop out the blank edges.
5. Edit as desired. Inspect your image blend closely to see if you need to use the clone stamp to clean up anything. You can add adjustment layers to improve the levels or saturation, etc.

(for this location i actually took 360 degree shots but the images didn't blend as i had planned... so the only way i could get the shot to look decent was to use less images blending)

  1. I like how you can see the curvature of the building with the panoramic shot. It gives it that cool feel that lets you know it's a pano shot.
