Reef Panorama Photo

[nlbford]

Other than a slight shift in the blue sky above the sailboat on the right, and another at the beginning of the mountain, I'd never believe this was a composite. Very well done!

Yeah, I'm finding that a couple of images have some of the seems "revealed" when I down rez them. I guess subtle shifts in tone that get smoothed out at high res get more onbvious when a whole punch of pixels get tossed (or the JPEG compression causes some of it). Anyway, thanks.

I'm still confused about how you did it 'by hand'.

The old fashioned way . . . building up layers of various photos, using cloning tools to "paint" certain areas, moving parts around with masks and compositing them on top of others, scaling portions up or down . . . things like that.

I found one of the best pieces of software for doing panoramas is http://www.panoramafactory.com/

Works a treat, can't fault it.
