Help using panorama feature on a long straight wall

I am trying to stitch photos of a long wall using Photoshop Elements 6 Photomerge Panorama feature (a wall with graffiti), however the problem I have is:
- if I use the "Auto" feature, the photos stitch neatly, however, there is a strong "bend" away from the camera on the left and right sides of the merged picture.
- if I use the "reposition only" feature, I can largely eliminate the "bend", although the photos don't stitch together very neatly.
I would think that stitching a "straight" image (ie with horizontal lines that you would like to keep horizontal) would be a fairly common use for the panorama feature?
I am taking the photos by walking parallel to the wall (ie at a fixed distance from the wall).  ie I am not standing in a central spot and turning from left to right.
Can anyone help me?  I suspect that I should be able to "bend back" the ends of the merged picture after using the "Auto" feature to stitch it together, although I haven't found how to do this.  I have tried using the various options within "Image/Transform" but with no luck.
Thanks,

Sorry, I missed a key sentence in your original post:  "I am taking the photos by walking parallel to the wall (ie at a fixed distance from the wall).  ie I am not standing in a central spot and turning from left to right."
Perspective and Cylindrical both assume you're pivoting the camera around a fixed point, so it's not surprising they don't produce good results. Auto chooses between Perspective and Cylindrical, so there's no point in choosing Auto.   See this page from the manual for a little more detail on the layout options:

Perhaps someone else here has experience trying to do what you want.
Also, if you post an example with 3 photos (perhaps at reduced resolution), you could get the creative juices of others flowing.

  • Why does PSE 10 Landscape Panorama feature cause program to crash?

    I've used this feature for a long time, but now it no longer works. Every time I try to invoke it, the program crashes. Other features seem to work fine, but the landscape panorama does not. I've tried repairing the installation, I've uninstalled/reinstalled, but neither has solved the issue. I'd appreciate any suggestions or ideas--thanks!

    Try making a direct shortcut for the Editor.
    On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Then click the browse button and navigate to:
    "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    Then click Next; then click Finish.
    To launch, try right-clicking on the new desktop icons and choose “Run As Administrator” which often improves stability.

  • Can't use the panorama feature

    Hi,
    I just acquired PS 12 & wanted to build a panorama from a suite of photos.
    I loaded the photos in the Expert Edit mode and then tried to open a new file of the panorama type, as shown in the video tutorial. But the only choice I have is "Empty File".
    What is it I do wrong ?
    Thanks for your help,
    JayPeeM

    Thank you: it works

    Hi Buterem,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Pro since your recent Yosemite update. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having intermittent but persistent responsiveness issues with your mouse or trackpad, you may want to try using Activity Monitor to see if these incidents correspond to occupied system resources, especially system memory or CPU. You may find the following article helpful:

    It sounds like you may have created a new Apple ID and not edited the old one. Any applications that were downloaded from the old account will need the Apple ID and password from the account that downloaded them to update. You can either enter the password for that account or delete the applications and download them fresh from your new account to resolve this issue.

  • List of useful NEW features in Keynote '13

    There's a long thread on features that are missing in the update.  Some changes are quite annoying.  However I'm also noticing a lot of useful new features beyond the top-level things that get reported in news articles.  Here are some.  Please add to the list.
    Text boxes can take any shape so text flows in a specific way you want it to, such as around a curved shape — awesome special case of the next feature.
    Format > Shapes and Lines > Make Editable allows you to edit bezier points of an object. Note: inconsistent functionality — weirdly, does not work for curves or connection lines, for example.
    Vastly simpler and more beautiful way of editing Bezier points: simply hover mouse between two existing points and a new one appears for you to grab onto if you want it.
    Edit shapes with unite / intersect / subtract (under Format > Shapes and Lines).  E.g., take a bite out of an object.
    Connection lines (under Insert - > lines).  Like magnets in OmniGraffle: the end of the line attaches to another object and moves with it.  But very limited halfhearted implementation: not every object type can be connected to, you can’t designate positions on the object to connect to, nothing else in the interface even tells you whether the line is a connector or not, there’s no way to switch it on an off for a particular object, etc…
    Magic Move transitioncan match text boxes with some text changes (inserting words or letters)
    Format > Shapes and Lines > Make motion path from shape (haven’t tried this)
    Insert comments tagged with your name and optionally attached to certain objects
    Fewer floating windows (panel on right instead)
    Negative things worth noting:
    The new keynote autosaves, even when this destroys compatibility with older versions of Keynote.  So if you want to try editing an old presentation, and you might want to still use it in the old Keynote, make a copy first.
    The new Curve object (click the Shape toolbar button, and it’s in the top right) is very strange and you might want to avoid using it.  It doesn’t seem to be a “first class” object like others.  You cannot add Bezier points, and strangely, you can’t even rotate it!  Instead, add a straight line and then add a Bezier point to it.
    Cannot reapply master to selection (can only apply to entire slide)
    Bezier nodes have only a point, not the two handles, so they’re less flexible
    Old themes can fail to work correctly.  Not only if there are animations in the master, as has been reported elsewhere; one of my themes incorrectly displays paragraphs as bullets, until I manually tell it to reapply the master to the slide.

    The viewable area is centered now. So, you can stage objects off-slide to the top or left very easily.
    No more fiddling with a button to scale. Now, as with most drawing apps, pinch can zoom in and out quickly
    Right-to-left language text (like Arabic and Hebrew) builds actually WORK!
    Have an image and want to replace it with an updated version (or one that's customer specific)? You can now replace images in place quickly
    Negative thing worth noting
    No longer possible to tweak the file manually to create rounded joins on lines (or rounded butts on dashes for that matter). If you have an old file you manually updated, those still work in the latest version (I've posted a presentation here that uses lines with rounded corners instead of mitered corners to show the difference https://www.icloud.com/iw/#keynote/BAI2xMm7NsSaRKQ1wayBKy6a3BIs7ZO7W1OE/Symbols_ ME_11)

  • Does using the featured news widget limit searchability?

    I am using muse to create my site, which has not yet been launched.  In order to dsplay a large amount of info in a great way, I have used the featured news widget.  Am I likely to reduce the searcability of this information having it displayed in this way?
    I already feel a little compromised as I cannot add anchors to each of the news headers, I can only link to the first page.
    The only other way I can see of displaying the information in a similar way is to create a long page with anchors at the section headers.  It look okay but nowhere near as nice as when displayed in the widget.  Will it increase my searchability by having it displayed in this way, rather than in the widget?
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks,
    Clare

    Hi Clare,
    Muse generates proper HTML code for all the content that you place inside a Featured News widget (both in the trigger and target). So the content is as much searchable as any other content on the page. The content is just shown or hidden based on user interaction and not really added dynamically using JavaScript. So it should not hamper the searchability of content on your pages in that context. It should be as good as placing all the content on a long page. If you use any online services/tools to check/analyze the content searchability, you can compare the results of two versions for clarity.
    Cheers,
    Vikas

  • Hi! I'm a Windows XP convert... switched to an imac about 4 months ago and am LOVIN' it  As a graphics designer I did use a feature on my Windows machine which I really miss on my mac... beaing able to see a preview of one of the images in a folder on top

    Hi! I'm a Windows XP convert... switched to an imac about 4 months ago and am LOVIN' it As a graphics designer I did use a feature on my Windows machine which I really miss on my mac... beaing able to see a preview of one of the images in a folder on top of the folder icon. In other words, in Windows, you can see the first image that is inside the folder as an icon on the folder itself. Is there a way to do this on the mac? Maybe some software program that will do it? Thanks for you help!

    It would be brilliant if Apple could make picture folders behave like events in iPhoto. You could see a photo on the folder, and also mouse over it to change pictures.
    But no, there's not an application I'm aware of that does this. You can manually make a picture the folder icon, but it's a tedious process.
    Unfortunately this is another example of how dated and worn out the Mac's interface is. The concept of using a file folder as the icon for a directory of images is so 80's. You could use coverflow, but that only helps once you're in the directory itself. Or use iPhoto or Aperture, although they just do photos. Or try Lyn as an alternative: it has a sort of iTunes-like interface, and makes it easy to organize photos without having to put them in iPhoto. And it can display photos that are already in Libraries.
    But you'd probably need a Finder alternative. I use Leap, which displays any type of document. It also does tagging, which is another huge omission in the Finder. More like Windows Explorer (although still no photo on folder icons).
    Another very stylish Finder alternative, especially useful for pictures, is FileBrowse. I don't know why it hasn't gotten more attention. It DOES put photo previews on the folders it shows. And allows one-click expansion to show the photo enlarged. It's super fast, and even allow you to group/sort by camera or flash! It really has to be seen to be appreciated. It works in Lion, although it doesn't seem to be have been updated lately. http://www.filebrowse.com/index.html
