MandieS Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I'm not happy with the auto photomerge on this one The horizon is good, a couple might need just a bit of moving, but the milky way is straight not arched. I also tried with the Geometric Distortion Correction ticked but then the milky way was good but the horizon was arched! There are probably a couple of pics I can hide but thought I'd wait til I'd checked in here. Any suggestions please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Oh boy. I think you should do the blending for now. Once that is done, you can warp it all together as desired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandieS Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 Ok thanks - never done warping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 We'll worry about that later. Go ahead and purge the layers you don't need; then blend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 May I also see a screenshot of your layers panel? (Sorry, I should have thought to ask earlier.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Great. So delete any of the layers you haven't used, then select all the layers, and Layer>Convert to Smart Object. This will, as the name says, combine all the layers into one smart object. Then you can Edit>Transform>Warp (or any other kind of transformation, maybe perspective might be good too?) and go nuts.

MandieS Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 Thanks Hmm this could be interesting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandieS Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 This is where I'm at?! What are your thoughts please? What would be the best way to fill the edges? Really need to buy an ultra wide lens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Hmmm ... it's revealed some flaws in your blending, hasn't it? That's ok, just go to Layer>Smart Object>Edit Contents, and it will open up the original layers in a separate view, so you can fix the masking a bit.

MandieS Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Yeah at the top of the milky way? Any where else that you can see? What's the best way to fill the gaps around the edges - I don't really want to crop it down much if I can help it because of the composition? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so, but there are two ways I'd check. First, I'd look at each channel. Second, I'd add a Levels layer and slowly drag the white slider in aggressively. Between those two methods, you should be able to spot any hard edges. 1 hour ago, MandieS said: What's the best way to fill the gaps around the edges - I don't really want to crop it down much if I can help it because of the composition? Well, I guess try Content Aware Fill first. If that fails, then it's just careful cloning, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Looks great. Can you post this in Levels briefly? There's something I want to ask you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandieS Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 Posted in levels. This merge didn't work as well as my first with the milky way pretty much end up a straight diagonal line! Would this be because I only used shots from the high/mid point and not any from the left side of the milky way, so the merge couldn't read the overall shape?

I don't know, to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandieS Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 Ok thanks - will make sure on next merge I get all the milky way and see what happens. Can always delete whichever end I don't want if necessary! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
