Photomerge Assignment Overview

Your assignment over the next week is to take multiple  panorama style photomerges.  Take a picture and then move the camera slightly up or sideways to take another "connected" image. Basically you combine smaller pictures to make one larger picture.

Use a tripod if possible. Remember to manual adjust white balance or select something like "cloudy" or "sunny" on your camera.

Here is how you connect multiple pictures in Photoshop.

To set up a new Photomerge composition:
Import Photos
Place pictures in a separate folder for each merge
Do one of the following:
Choose File > Automate > Photomerge.
In the File Browser, select the images you want to use and then choose Automate > Photomerge from the File Browser menu bar
In the dialog box, choose an option from the Use pop-up menu:

• Files to generate the Photomerge composition using individual files.
• Folders to use all the images stored in a folder to create the Photomerge composition. The files in the folder appear in the dialog box.
• Open Files to use the image files you have open in Photoshop.

Click the Browse button to navigate to the source files or folder you want to use to create the Photomerge composition. Select Attempt to Automatically Arrange Source Images if you want Photoshop to try to line the images up in their proper order.
Then edit your picture as you need.

Spring Break Homework

Good morning,

Here is the spring break homework for Digital Photography. Details can be found below in the Photomerege and Sequence examples below.


Over spring break you need to shoot three successful and awesome looking landscape Photomerges in three separate locations. One must shot be during golden hour. Shoot both vertically and horizontally. Each Photomerge should be at least 3-5 pictures. I would recommend attempting at least four or five different merges at each location.

Also, shoot one intense action sequence merge. Take at least 3-5 pictures in the sequence. Please make sure the subject is in focus and the lighting is desirable.

Photomerge Assignment

One of your assignments over Spring Break multiple landscape panorama style photomerges.  Take a picture and then move the camera slightly up or sideways to take another "connected" image. Basically you combine smaller pictures to make one larger picture.

Here is how you connect multiple pictures in Photoshop.

• Import your pictures using Image Capture

Turning in Your Photomerge Pictures

Today you will turn in Photomerge CS3.
You will then merge all of your new pictures.
Next you will edit all of your merged pictures in Photoshop.

At 11:15 you will turn in your best five Photomerges on a Contact Sheet. This Contact Sheet must contain at least one picture from each day of shooting.
You will also turn in your best Photomerge for grading. I will discuss printing the Photomerges in class.

Photomerge Grading:
1. Photomerege needs to look like one picture. Colors and objects in pictures should blend together perfectly without any errors.
2. Photomerege should showcase rule of thirds and foreground, mind-ground, and background subjects just like a landscape photo.
3. Photomerge should showcase an interesting location. Picture should look like something you would see in a calendar or framed on a wall.

Photomerge Assignment

Your assignment over the next five to six days:

You will create three Photomerge pictures. These are 3-5 pictures that overlap to show a wide landscape or cityscape
