Thanks Dan Larry and others who viewed/commented on my Falls shot. I went back and re-did the pano within LR6 and then did another similar which stitched 4 66MB files. The 3-frame stitch took 1min 15sec, the 4-frame stitch took about 2 minutes to process. iMac OSX10.9, 3.2GHz processor, 24GB memory. My setup is not the fastest possible machine, but it is not slow either. So my early comment that “it took a few seconds” was a bit of an exaggeration and a bit of patience may be required. But then again I was working with very large files.
I had Auto checked for perspective control and Auto cropping. I’ll go back later and uncheck those options and see what it offers me. I don’t have Photoshop experience since about version 1.0 Compared to the Photoshop Elements 11.0 pano process, this is far more automated with fewer options available to intervene. But maybe with less need to. My brief fling with the new HDR, compared to Photomatix, is similar. My conclusion: LR6 does a good-enough quick-and-dirty pano or HDR, but if you want to go beyond the defaults you’ll probably need to stick with your more specialized tools for these functions. stan On Apr 24, 2015, at 8:46 AM, Daniel J.
