How to Make a Panorama in Photoshop
I Guarantee I Can Teach You to Master Photoshop. Learn How: phlearn.com/aaronwillteachyou
Today's episode is filled with goodies! Not only do we show you how to create a panorama in photoshop, we also give you some expert tips on shooting those panoramic images. David J. Crewe lends us his knowledge as we give you six amazing tips. To top it all off, we have a gear article specially prepared to compliment today's episode. Now you can see the gear some of the pros are using, or just check out some budget options to get you started.
Tips From the Pros
Here are some tips for you when you're out shooting panoramas:
1) Use a sturdy Tripod and try to stay "level" when changing positions.
2) Overshoot / Shoot wider than you need so you can crop safely.
3) Use a longer lens (50mm or higher) since you're stitching anyway. Wider lenses give you more distortion so your images will be more realistic/normal with a longer lens.
4) Shoot higher than F8. Most time-lapser and pano shooters will swear by the F8 to F11 zones for clarity and sharpness.
5) Manually Focus to make sure everything is the same (no shifts from frame to frame).
6) Slow Shutter Speeds (or ND Filters) to reduce and eliminate distracting elements (people, animals, random motion).

I never tried panorama but for my international project I shot multiple photos at some place where I had the permission to enter the venue once, so i took the photos thinking that I'll stitch them together in photoshop by just adding them one after the other. I was so disheartened when i was unable to do so! I searched on internet and didn't find any way out but on youtube I found you teaching panorama in photoshop.... Trust me all my tension vanished since, I have seen many photoshop tutorials of you and they have always taught me something new and productive. Thank You! After watching this tutorial I'm really eager to try more panorama shots for fun.
I'm completely in love with Phlearn 😍. You really make the perfect tutorials and remind me a lot my ex photoshop's teacher. The good thing about you guys is that you teach how to use the tools more than just how to make any effect, and that is amazing. The way you teach how to see the details and make it real, you explain everything making people see and think about how things looks in reality... Like I always say "first learn to observe around and then you can interpret". I've seen all the tutorials in almost 2 days hahah. And Aaron, you rocks!! Hahah you're soooo funny and talented!, thank you so much for show us how you work!. Xx K.

***** lucky me!
very good tutorial! Thank you!
This segment maybe 6 years later but it is still highly valuable...Its how I became a subscriber for PHLEARN...Having much trouble with this digital imaging - Im stubborn I want to combine instructional with thinking outside the box Im still pressing though even though get points off but segments like these help greatly
i like it when you include a bit of shooting tips in the tutorials - super handy.
you're always saving my life! thank you!!
I watched several different KZread videos on how to combine/stich photos together. Yours is by far the most comprehensive and easiest to understand. Signing up for the 30 day class now. Thanks!!!
You are simply the best.
Really nice tutorial. I've been strugling with empty spots that i tried to fill out with different tools so often... And now you gave me few important tips. Thank you very much!
thank you so much Aaron, this has made several pictures I have had in my folders from when I was visiting the USA to come to life in a whole new way, especialy the astoria collumn pictures, I had no idea it was that easy to combine them together. I have also been using the system to merge photos of a house we are looking at renting to give more views of the rooms that I took pics of and then fill with the items from the current house into the empty rooms
This is is so wonderful! Thank you Mr. Nace, I'm a big fan of yours! Keep it up!
I really love your work guys. Aaron is just a pleasure to watch and all your videos helped me to improve my photos so much. Thanks for doing what you do!
Thank you. Really appreciate u teaching us in such a simple way. Keep up the good work.
What a great tutorial. A lot of these remind me of what I could do with Photoshop but don't necessarily GET to do in my everyday job.
Love this episode Aaron, good job... oh, and love the bloopers, LOL!
Panoramic stitching really sounded intimidating and super advanced, but the way you teach it makes it understandable and do-able! Thank you so much for sharing your talent.
thank you somuch . finally made my first pano a beautiful one will be able to participate in an international competition 😊 love phlearn
Thanks again... everytime I forgot how to use it, I watch your tutorial again
yo Phlearn I love your page. I want to ask you I shot a star gaze pano and I seem to be getting an extremely distorted result l. unfortunately I shot it super wide and used lowest aperture to expose the stars. how do I better fix the distortion beyond the lens correction option. Are there other ways to make panos in ps?
Hey Phlearn, great stuff as always! I've recently picked up a Canon dslr and am loving it! I'm able to be really creative. I've also just bought my first lense which is a 50mm f/1.8 lense for some nice depth of field. Any chance you could put together a simple dslr tutorial series for beginners? I'm starting to find dealing with f/stops, iso and shutter speed a bit easier but I find your teaching methods so easy to follow and I think this would inspire other new photo rookies to to get into photography too. Do you already have something like this?

I agree. They market as Photoshop and photography tutorials, but I've rarely seen photography tutorials. I love Phlearn, and I've learned tons of valuable info from them, but it's mostly been for Photoshop. I would love for Phlearn to put as much effort and information into photography tutorials as they do Photoshop tutorials. My knowledge would skyrocket if they were to do that.
Bom dia, queria dizer que seus tutoriais são maravilhosos, sempre com dicas e técnicas novas, apesar de eu não saber inglês, consigo entender e aprender muito com seus tutoriais sem problemas. Meus parabéns pelo seu conhecimento. Você faz muito sucesso aqui no Brasil. Grande abraço e já estou curioso para o próximo tutorial.
Great video and well explained! not in a rush just perfect and simple. Keep up the great work i just subscribed!
A lovely watch and so easy to follow. Thank you.
Your work Aaron is great and it really made me improve so much with your creative topics and techniques, Ive been really having a hard time making a proper focus stacking for a landscape shots, changing the focus ring seems to shift the focal distance somehow. Is it possible that this focus stacking topic to be shown in one of your episodes. Thank you in advance for all the beautiful work you have presented so far and for the crew who made it possible in a great way
I love your channel! it's the only tutorial channel i can follow at 3AM despite my ADHD, simple and effective. much love - An Italian fan who started using PS last week P.S. Quickest question: how to change a brush's size on windows?

Gosh...just at the right time for my site analysis...i was thinking about making panoramas this time..Amazing video!! U guys describe everything sooo well n so easily..I still can't believe that these tutorials r for free!!
Great tutorial as usual Aaron! Been following your videos a lot and have learnt so much about compositing and photoshop! Is there any chance of you making a proper food image tutorial someday? Would be really helpful how to edit and create a nice goodlooking image of a plate for a magazine, an ad or the web. Thanks!
There are areas where the stitching doesn't exactly match up, such as the peak of the mountain in the background. Do you have any tips for this?
Havent watched in while. Great info!!!
This is super helpful!! Thank you so much!
hi aaron,thank you for all your video. im a big fan of you!! :)

Thank you, That's great !!!
you are good on what you do man, talented thanks for sharing
Thanks for the Video! i Tried it myself it looks super awesome. But i have two people in it which look very much distorted. Lens Correction das not do the job. Is there i way to Fix it?
Outstanding "how to" Thank you very much
Thank you, It is very helpful.
very good, helpful videos! all of them!
Really good job. Thx a lot
Thanks very much! very helpful.
Hey Aaron, I was wondering if it would be smarter to make that merged layer a smart object. Also, do you think that opening up an acr filter and using the spot correction in there can be better than the healing brush since you can visualize the dust more easily? Love your channel btw!
thanks phlearn!
thanks! it was super helpful
thanks.. your videos are so helpful and easy to follow.
Simple and effective!!!! And taking it to the next level.... what is the best way to stitch photos together using Brenizer method?
thank you this was helpful.
This is a great tip. Do you think you can make an episode where you can teach us how to combine a long exposure shot with a normal one in order to remove trees and grass flickering?
thanks !! this was very helpful :)
Very informative! Thank you!
I love it!
Beautiful desert photo in your video! Just some additional information: I went back to some old images I had and tried it with them. The problem was that the images were taken with a 14mm lens in landscape mode, two big no-no's for panoramic photography. I wanted to try it anyways as the sunset in the photos was really good. It would not work without checking "Geometric Distortion". The result was an interesting and curved super wide angle photo that was better than the original photos individually, although highly distorted.
Thank you for your video. I produced a great image after first learning how to do it from this tutorial. I took 5 vertical shots at 14mm, which could be a bit too wide, but I wanted to see if it would work. It did work, with some distortion, but it looks great overall. The image consists of 5 vertical shots taken at 125/s stitched together and 5 vertical shots taken at 2000/s stitched together. Then, both images (light and dark) were auto-aligned, with the lighter image as the primary, and then I used gradient fill to darken the sky and a few other areas. I then cropped the photo and added a little contrast, and it was done. The HDR technique really helps when there is large contrast between the land and the sky. I did not even use a tripod as I had to reach up over a small gate. I don't even think my travel tripod extends high enough. I plan to try this again with a tripod and taking more shots at less wide angle.
beautiful and awesome panaroma .
Thank you for the video
I can't believe it! I was just thinking about how to make a panorama a few days ago!

Thank you for this tutorial, still very useful a couple of years later ;-)
Hi Phlearn I'm watching your tutorials for couple of months now, and I have learned a lot about ps and photography... find your tutorials the best ones - Thank You so much! Recently I bumped in to a problem with color binding (tonal gradients are not smooth)... At the end of shows, Aron invites us to say what would we like to se in tutorials, so this is my wish and proposition for next one. this problem is specialy present in black&white edit thank you once again and best wishes in 2015!
thanks realy simple way and very profissiona to learn and teach regards
Wow excellent.. I just went on a trip to St Petersburg Russia and took a heap of panoramic shots on my New X100t...The images that turned out were great but now i want to re edit them with the tips from Aaron...Great Episode....BTW your Pro tutorials were great kill the time on the plane, I always used light room and your tutorials have single handedly turned me to Photoshop..
pefect really good 😍😍😍thanks
Great video!
Is it possible to stitch a panorama with Photoshop 7? my menu options are different than what I see on your video, I understand that my version is older (much older). Thank you. Rick.
Thanks for the video,guys. IMHO you overbended the horizon with lens correction:-)
awesome sauce!
Amazing tutorial 🙌
Thank you!!!
Thank you so much.
Hi, thank you for the wonderful episode. I want to ask a question about the "photomerge" function in photoshop in CC2014 and CS6. I realize that when we use "photomerge" in CC2014, the layer mask of the image is just curves and straight lines. It works in this simple situation. However, if I use the same method in CS6, the edge of layer mask of the image is much more accurate. The "photomerge" function is much greater in CS6 in my opinion. You can have a try with more complex images. Why photoshop have this change?
Good video. thanks
Good tutorial!
thank you!
Wonderful tutorial as always! It is also important to use manual exposure, not auto, and keep the exposure the same for all shots.
It's freaking magic!
Really it is helpful tutorial !
How you manipulate software in stitching of figures if you take photos in your camera in portrait orientation
Awesome video!
i second that... panorama contest!
PHLEARN is the best!!!
nice video. but i did photos of a village at night you can see the lights and a bit of the sunset but my program has problems with merging them together to a panoramic photo because it has less points to look at that they are aligned. can you help
At 4:07 in your video your different images show their final destination in the final image. When I upload mine only the first image populates the main image. The other 4 images show in the small area but there isn't anything in the small black box to the right of it. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
Do you have any info on merging manual panoramas, as the auto didnt work
great vid!
Do you have any videos about making a streamline panorama? Im struggling.
Thanks a lot.
excellent !
