MandieS Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Hi - 2nd time trying to shoot the milky way last night but lens not wide enough so went for option 2 of taking several pics to try and stitch together into a panorama, never tried this before! Used PS and the Automate>Photomerge option which I think has worked to a degree but not sure what to do next, how to blend edges etc They were all taken with the same settings and batch edited in RAW.

Damien Symonds Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 How well did it do? Are the stars overlaid perfectly on each layer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandieS Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 Looks ok to me, the dark bit through the core look pretty well aligned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Great. And are there any of the layers which you don't need? The fewer layers you have, the less masking you need to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandieS Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 Ah right - yes I could ditch 4 layers - there is a bit of uneveness with the mountain but could probably do a bit of cloning to smooth that out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Attagirl. Now you're catching on. Yes, cloning will be fine for that. Ok, so with the layers remaining, add masks to them (except the bottom one, of course) and use a big soft brush to blend them together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
