Session 7 - Image Resolution & Panoramas

Today we learned about Photoshop image resize options, and how important resolution figures are when it comes to printing images. We also discovered how to process multiple pictures, if you want to rename then, resize or make simple changes (I send a separate handout about this).

In the second part of the session, we were practicing stitching panoramas together using File>New>Photomerge Panorama option, which you found quite useful and exciting.

What is important here is the size of the original photo - if you have rather slow computer processor don't try to photomerge big pictures. Use some of the resizing techniques we were discussing at the beginning of the session instead, otherwise it takes Photoshop long time trying to process and calculate all those big pictures for you. Besides as we said earlier normally you don't need a huge picture resolution to print a decent size photo. Hope this helps.

Below you can find some pictures to create panoramas as a practice.

I hope you will find those exercises easy and fun to do - of course there is no single solution to perform all the megres but as always - be creative and try various PSE settings to make most of it. Have fun.
