How To Create a Panoramic Photo in Photoshop

Experience the world in one breathtaking frame with panoramic photography. With the Photomerge tool, it’s easier than ever to capture faraway landscapes or cityscapes and create a panoramic photo in Photoshop. To ensure maximum success when taking these photos, be sure to leave a 30-40% overlap between each image and keep your camera level. Avoiding up and down movements while taking pictures is also important. Additionally for best results use manual exposure settings on DSLR cameras and wide angle lenses without zooming.
