Fall Mini-Sessions 2012

Panoramic in Photoshop | Maine Wedding Photographers

There is often a need to turn multiple photos into one photo, and I do that using Photoshop. I use CS4, so I'm not sure exactly where the options are for newer or older versions. But here's what I do.

I snap photos in all directions. Usually, I take up to 12 at a time (4 across the top, middle and bottom). For this wedding, I just wanted a pano of the reception tent. So I set my exposure in manual, locked focus on manual (so it didn't change) snapped three photos in a row.

 I open Photoshop, go to File-Automate-Photomerge.

This box opens, I use "Auto" for the layout and then use Browse to find my files. Click OK and it does a ton of work. It takes a minute or so (2-3 for 12 photos). Then it opens one file, with layers for each image. Each layer has a mask that seamlessly blends that photo into the others.

You can adjust the masks, or flatten and make your regular edits. I had a lot of sky and grass to fill, then I upped my saturation and fixed my white balance. 

And Voila!

ZigZag Album | AllyRey Photography Product

I've been in love with these little albums for a couple years now, but I love showing new clients how cool these are!

They are small enough to bring with you in a purse. They are the PERFECT "brag book" for grandparents, and are magnetic, so they can stick to your refrigerator.

The eurohyde covers come in many colors and these high quality paper options are fantastic. The covers are magnetic, so the book stays closed on its own, and also makes a cool panoramic for the fridge.

Invitations!
