hey guys and welcome back to my channel
it's been ten months since i've uploaded
which is terrible, i know
umm so anyway
this video is going to show you
how to create a perfect
seemless panorama
using photoshop, although you can use other programs
such as PhotoShop elements
and other ones that i don't know about
but they, they exist
so these are the kind of panoramas that you can make
and... you can turn them into anything you want
after that, such as this which
i have a video on aswell, so you can check that
out if you like
i'll give the link to that
so... what you're gonna need to do
is get a camera on a tripod
put in it portrait orientation
on the widest focal length that you can
and that's probably about 18mm
umm, and then just pan around
in manual mode with the same settings
don't change any focus, any exposures
and yeah just do that
so let's go onto the video
so we're going to be using cs6 to do this
it's nice and simple
once you've got the photos
and i mentioned how to do it before
you pan around with the camera
in portrait orientation
on the widest focal length
all in manual mode
yeah don't change any focus, 
don't change any settings
just keep everything manual
and then once you've got them loaded
into the computer
i like to overlap about 70% of the photo
so as you can see this tree is still
this tree goes through 4 exposures
well technically 5 a little bit there
but
basically goes through 4 exposures
and that's fine, 3-4 with the same element in
one exposure is fine
so
i like to do about 70% overlap on the photos
some people get away with 30%
it doesn't really matter just, the more the merrier
and that's all you need to do
leave it on auto, it does it really well
blend images together, you gotta tick that
and don't need any of this
it's a bit pointless for this stage
yeah just click ok
this part usually takes quite a long time
so i'm just going to cut the video and i'll see you in a sec
and we're back
so it's rendered it, it's fine
first thing we're going to do is
right click on the layers
right click on the layers, flatten image
that's gonna help it
load fast
computer's gonna have less work to do
and it's just cleaner to have one layer
zooming in, it's perfectly seemless
this is not a seem, this is the sun shining through the trees
so yeah the only problem, is that we have a white border
around the edges
but that's fine because, there are two options
one, you can just crop it
i do not recommend cropping from the top down
or from the bottom up
because you want a lot of height to your panorama
that's what's gonna make it more attractive
you can take the sides off, that's fine
i wouldn't even bother because the trees are just too
hard to paint in again
so yeah, definitely take the time to
clone stamp
the grass
press alt on the grass or on an area of pixels
which we will the paste like so
i'm not gonna do it because i've already done it
so i can just show you that one
this one
so
when it loads
there we go
this is the final image
it's a 360 degree panorama
you can edit it normally
usually expose for the sky
and then brighten up the dark
it's much easier to brighten up the dark colours
and tones, sorry, than darken whites
so
exposue for the sky
there's a lot more you can do with panoramas
as you saw at the start of the video
i have those little planet
images, i will leave two links in the description
one link is the link to
a video i made on how to turn these panoramas
into little planet images
and
the other link is to the written article
that was published by 500px ISO
erm, so it's basically a transcript
for the video, if you like
with screenshots and instructions and stuff like that
so yeah that's about it
it's really simple, PhotoShop
as i said earlier you can do it in PhotoShop Elements
there's many other programs that you can do it
in as well, i don't know of them but
they do exist so
thanks guys for watching
and i'll see you in the next one
