Panoramic Pictures

How can I make panoramic pictures using Aperture? (Combine 3 to 8 pictures of one object, then stich them together for on one long picture.)
How can I blend two or three photos together to have total focus range in a final photo? (Not HDR) (Example: I take one shot at far focus, one shot mid focus and one shot near focus. Then blend them in to one picture all in focus using Aperture.)
If Aperture cannot do it is there a plug-in for Aperture that will build a panoramic picture or allow me to blend photos together?

Welcome to the forums.
Not too sure about the panorama plugin, I know that Pshop does a great job of this.
As for the blending of pics for infinite focus, totally different kettle of fish. Panoramas you are essentially blending the edges of pics together. Focus is a subjective and variable quantity, each lens camera combination giving differing results, each scene with varying contrast and subject matter, a very big ask for a one click plugin. As you move the focus point the image changes, think of being focus on a face with the background blurred, now change to the background in focus the face blurred, that line where the two meet, how do you define it? Suggest some in depth reading of how images are projected on to the focal point and the circle of confusion resulting.
An example, using the HDR technique ideally you should either introduce a neutral density filter or adjust the ISO, as changing the aperture changes the image enough for it to no longer overlay perfectly.
OK they are the reasons why not... how to do it?
1. Get your self a tilt lens and learn how to use it for the Scheimpflug principle.

2. Get a wide angle lens, use a small aperture and get a large depth of field.
3. Use photoshop, place each image on a layer, give each a layer mask, using your discretion brush away the areas of each image you do not want.
Love to hear of a plugin!

I am having the problem when trying to take a panorama picture. It may only take the first frame or doesn't even start at all when I press the shutter button. even though when i hold the phone straight up and down, so that camera is at the top

I am having the problem when trying to take a panorama picture.
It may only take the first frame or doesn't even start at all when I press the shutter button.
even though when i hold the phone straight up and down, so that camera is at the top on the back and the home button is on the bottom on the front.
This problem is irritating me....?

To take panorama
- ensure that the panorama option is on
- press the shutter button once
- you will see a line with an arrow
- move around in a circle ( I keep the camera steady and turn myself around in a circle)
- as you do this you will see the arrow moving across the screen as it captures pictures
- at the end of the capture, you will be able to see your panorama picture
I hope that this helps, do report back.

When you look at how they distribute apps it seems that iPods/iPhones are deemed more portable, which is why they have the better camera features, stuff like weather and passbook and stocks, while Apple doesn't seem to plan for the iPad being used as peoples cameras or being carried around with them on a daily basis....and I know evidenc is to the contrary. I've seen people using their iPad as a camera in national parks and at disneyland.

How to set up panoramic picture for locked or home screen on iPhone 5 ios 7.1.1?

I tried setting up a panoramic picture on locked and home screen so I can get that cool effect but it doesn't work, I only get a panoramic still. I am currently running ios 7.1.1 on iPhone 5. Any troubleshooting ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!!!

It is not a supported feature for home screen wallpaper.

When I set a panorama picture as my wallpaper, the live scrolling is not working. Anyone else having this problem?

Everyone is having the "problem".
That beta feature is not in the final release of iOS 7.

So I just updated my iphone 4S to iOS 6 and was having fun trying the panorama pictures, and all of the sudden my phone turned off (it was fully charged so it's not out of batery and it felt warm) and it has since not turned on again. Suggestions?

Even if it is a hardware problem they should fix it regardless of warranty. If you buy a car and after 1.5 years the doors fall off due to a failure in their design and construction, do you think the car manufacturer could pull off what Apple is trying to do? Yes the car still delivers its primary objective of driving from A to B, but significant functionality has been lost due to their fault.
It is the same with this iPhone wifi problem. Apple are a disgrace, I have had significant Apple Hardware failures with my MacBook Pro and iPhone within 2 years of purchase. Pathetic quality.

Can I print one panorama picture over 2 or 3 pages?

Hi!
I have created a panorama picture from 4 pictures, using PhotoShop CS5 and imported it into Aperture as my photo archive application.
Now, I wonder if I can print this picture over several pages, A4 or A3, and stitch them manually together, as I want to have it big on my wall.
If I cannot use Aperture, do anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks Graham!
I want to do it myself, since i am very well equipped with several printer options.
I did try Panorama Maker 5, just downloaded a trial. It worked fine, except for the color fading, the picture lost it´s sparkelig colors. It prints the picture on two sheets of paper, making it possible to keep the panorama size. But the colors were dull.
And I do not know if I want to pay $79,9 just for the printing option. I read somewhere that it should be possible with PhotoShop as well, but I don´t know how...

Place a panorama picture

Hello,
I am new in Indesign. I would like to place a panorama picture (13000x2200 pixel) over several pages. I think it could cover about 4 pages. Ok, I could place it new on every double-page and bring it in the right position, but is there another way?
Thanks for help
Thomas

Ah, yes. Long day. Sorry.
In that case, I'd still be tempted to start with a 4-page spread. Place the image as you want it, then copy and past in place on top of itself. Crop the left side of the top copy to the center boundary, then select the bottom copy and crop off the right side to the center boundary. Restore shuffling.

How do i get my panorama picture to take without it finishing before I'm done?

I'm trying to take a panoramic picture but every time I start the camera will finish the picture before I can even turn slightly. I don't even see directions to "slow down" or move it just files the first frame as though I were finished. Any tips?

From the iPhone User Manual:
Take a panorama photo (iPhone 4S or later): Tap Options, then tap Panorama. Point iPhone where you want to start, then tap . Pan slowly in the direction of the arrow, holding iPhone steady. Try to keep the arrow directly on top of the horizontal line. When you finish, tap Done.
• Reverse the panning direction: Tap the arrow.

Why did my panoramic pictures disappear from my camera roll?

I took a couple of panoramic pictures. I was able to see them for a few days but now they are gone from my camera roll. Anyone else have this issue? They are also not in my photo stream. Anyone know what might have happened?

TThanks. I didn't get my old emails back but it delivers my new ones.

How does iphoto4 handle panoramic pictures?

Hi,
My plans are to eventually get a camera that takes panoramic shots. Does iphoto4 handle panoramic pictures?
Thank you

Forestman,
From experience, I would suggest you consider buying software that can make panoramas from the photos you take with any decent camera.
I recommend PhotoShop ($$$) or PhotoShop Elements ($ the consumer version that has everything you will need.) There is surely good and inexpensive or free software out there but I don't use them.
Panoramas are very tricky. The Kodak manual Keith mentioned hints at that:
"NOTE:
For best results, use a tripod. (For a steady shutter release on a tripod, see Using the self-timer.) Only the panoramic picture is saved; individual pictures are not. Picture size is set to 5.0 MP. Exposure and white balance are set with the first picture. The flash is set to Off."
Exposure, white balance, focal length, camera angles, lighting and focus are critical for getting a seamless panorama. Good editing software can do the stitching together automatically (with good exposures) and give you the options for inevitable cleanup (even with good exposures). The software should also have tools for making those quickie handheld shots stitch (perspective, vanishing point)
The built in camera panorama feature may be good but it reduces it to a 5MB file.
That file might not be much better than cropping a high resolution photo to short and wide or skinny and tall.
Home printing is very limited -- you can only fit so much on a page. You might want to check into online printing services that offer panorama prints and see what the market is.

Help fixing panoramic picture

Hello, the above picture is taken in panoramic mode from Olympus TG-2.
It's made up of three pictures each one having a little different exposure because of the sun angle.
The camera automatically stitches the photos in the one JPEG
Does anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this?
Any help would be appreciated…

That's still doable, but will need a bit of work. I don't know what version of Photoshop you are using, so the following is for CC.
Open the image, and drag a selection across the the central darker area. Make the selection the full height of the image, and try to intersect the transition from light to dark. Feather the selection. This is just a starting point, but something like 5 pixels would work.
Now open a Curves Adjustment layer. The layer mask in this layer will automatically have a suitable mask in place from your selection.
Click on the hand icon top left of Curves Properties panel, and click in the image on the dark blue of the sky dragging upwards until you get a reasonable match. Note you need to match the darkest area, which is on the left. The right edge will be too bright, but you'll fix that later.
Unlink the layer mask in the Curves Adjustment layer. (click on the chain icon to the left of the layer mask.)
Make sure the layer mask is selected (it should have a heavy white outline), and nudge the mask left or right to get the best seamless transition. You will also need to adjust the feather. If you click between the mask and curves icon on the layer, it will change between Curves and Mask properties.
When you get the left edge as near as possible, you are going to have to fine tune the right edge using the paint brush in the layer mask. Set brush opacity to 10%, and with black as the foreground colour, and using a fairly large fully soft brush, build towards the best match a stroke at a time. If you go to far, swap to white and reverse it.
You can improve the result of the above process using the Patch tool.
Select the highest layer in the stack, and add a copy merged layer (Shift Ctrl Alt e or Shift Cmd Opt e)
Select the Patch Tool and make sure it is set to Source in the Options bar.
Make a select around the transition from light to dark, but just of the sky. Don't get too close to the horizon.
Now drag the selection to the right, keeping it abutted to the upper frame edge, and let it go. This will merge the selected area.
Note: your selection will have needed to cover a reasonable area each side of the dark to light transition.
To fix that huge step in the horizon on the right, drag a selection around everything to the right of the step,, and copy to a new layer (Ctrl j or Cmd j)
Now use Free Transform, or Liquify to match the horizon as close as possible, so you can finish off with the Clone tool.
Note: If you use Free Transform, hold down the Ctrl (Cmd) key while dragging handles to give best control. If this leaves a gap in the sky, select it and fix with Content Aware Fill (Shift F5)
