panoramic stitching using CS2??

[Adaptive]

I saw on another forum that someone stitched a pano together using photoshop. Anyone know how to do this? Also what are some other programs that are used for stitching that migh be better than photoshop? :cool:

It's called Photomerge. Go to File | Automate | Photomerge. If you do not how to use it then try the manual or go to F1-Help and type in "photomerge" in the search field. Too much info on this tool to type it all up here :-)

Try looking at Autostitch, Panorama Factory, PTGui for Panorama Tools, Photostitch (which comes free as part of EOS Solution Disk).

yeah I found out about photomerge shortly after I made the thread, I have been running into problems though when trying to merge photos. Always get a ram error saying that my system does not have enough ram. This only happens when i'm working with seriously super huuuuge files. I guess shooting with 5d and trying to merge 15-20, 12 megapixel images together isn't such a good idea. :lol:

Adaptive, I shot panos with a 1Ds Mk.I, not unlike you 5D image size. My 180 panos usually are 25 images wide. CS3 cant do it.

I must close all programs and run Panorama Factory. It takes some time but it does it. I have a dell XPS m1710 with 2 gb of ram. Panos are serious hardware hogs. I prefer this program since it can create error free panos. CS hasn't pulled it off yet.

CS3's photomerge is vastly superior to CS2's. I wouldn't even bother using CS2's photomerge.

If PShop CS2 or CS3 does not meet your needs, try AUTOPANO PRO at http://www.autopano.net/.
It is a FANTASTIC stitching program that now supports HDR.

I haven't had good results from the CS2 Photomerge, but Canon's Photostitch has worked very well for me in virtually every instance.
