How to Take Great Panorama Photos

September 28, 2010 | Mark Goldstein | Photography Techniques | Comment |

You can finish your panorama with whatever techniques you would normally apply to your landscape photographs to make the best output image possible.

You can even go back and re-warp the panorama if you notice a place that isn't just right.

It isn't destructive to your file at all.

And if you happen to make a mistake, simply press Control Z to get rid of the last action you performed, or go to the Edit Menu> Undo.

Once you have flattened your file and saved it at 300 dpi as a jpeg or tiff, you will be ready to print, mat and frame it.

You now can do what you once thought impossible to do without a Panoramic View Camera.

You, my friend, are now a Panoramic Artist.

Go forth and panorama your world!
