Panoramas Scmanoramas

Here is an interesting tid bit I found in Camera Raw yesterday that I never knew existed. I can now make panoramas in Camera Raw direct instead of exporting to Photoshop.

Bring your selected pano images into Camera Raw and go to the top left menu and select all your images.

Then you also get the option to automatically enhance the images. I tried it out and it does a fine job cleaning them up. If you prefer to do it yourself just bypass this step.

Now choose Merge to Panorama and Camera Raw takes over all the heavy work and it seems to do a better job than Photoshop or any outside pano merge software I've tried. It does take longer but it automatically fixes a lot of things like content aware fill, perspective, layers etc. It gives you before previews which is really nice.

This is the final product. Made with the three images. I was pleasantly pleased with the results. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
