My 1st attempt using Photostitch !

Only problem is that alot of the detail is lost when shrinking the image down !

Anyway, this was the sunset over Stoke tonight .............



Any advice for future attempts welcomed, thanks.

Re: My 1st attempt using Photostitch !

Thanks for the comments guys, I was inspired to have a go by others which have been shown on here ..........

Just a shame that Stoke is so flat and bereft of tall buildings !

Do you mean detail in the post or after the stitch. Stitch output settings can be altered.

Nice shot BTW.

It was when reducing the image in PS. I tried all combination of settings but the quality always seemed to suffer no matter what ...............

Thanks - looks great bigger.

One small issue is that you've over-exposed the sky a bit in the top left. But this is almost impossible to avoid as keeping a perfect exposure across the pano is difficult. But still a great 1st attempt - will look forward to seeing more.

Re: My 1st attempt using Photostitch !

Yes, I noticed that but trying to correct it just seemed to make that end look even worse ! Looking back, maybe I should have cropped it a little shorter to remove it ........
