If you have any questions, catch any mistakes, or have an idea for an article, let me know at dvccnewsletter@gmail.com or at a meeting. I look forward to working with all of you!

Panoramic Images

Alan Moore gave a wonderful presentation at our 9/11 meeting, showing us the ins-and-outs of creating beautiful panoramas. Especially helpful were the list of equipment and the Photoshop instructions that simplified a complicated process.  His powerpoint presentation and list of steps to produce a panorama in Photoshop are on the DVCC RESOURCES page.

Here’s the raw panorama after all the separate images were merged:

And here’s the final image after Alan applied the “content aware” fill function of Photoshop:
