Thanks to all for your kind comments. The view is spectacular - better that
the photography.
I will do a re-run with better images next time I visit the Mother City.
That looks good considering the obvious low res and saturated colours
of the source images, I note too that you can see the curvature of the
Earth :) I'm not familiar with the Elements pano assemble tools but
generally there will be an option to set the virtual eye-point, with a
little testing you should be able to straighten out the horizon to
some extent. I find that often I have pairs of images that have the
potential to form what I call incidental panos, it's worth looking
through some recent shots to see it there are any that might stitch to
provide a wider than normal image. Good stuff, glad my pic spurred you
into action.
Thanks for the mini-tutorial, Rob. Actually, I'm not sure about the
curvature of the Earth - it may just be distortion. Elements allows various
projection models to be used (like map making). Basically they stretch the
images to a more-or-less rectanguar shape but the corners end up a bit
distorted. Some straighten the horizon & others make it concave. They all
match the edges of the overlapping images automatically. Apart from that you
can only crop & render the final product in the normal way. I'm going to
experiment with some local scenes until I get it right.
Cheers
