    Can anyone here give me some good tips for Photoshop CS2 in relation to trying to blend the seams of the sky in photos that have been stitched together.
    I used the canon photostitching software which I have heard isn't as great as others so any alternates that you can reccomend would be great.

    An example of a photo I have recently stitched is here;

    A good way is to drop each image into a new document, arrage them as best you can and then use layer masks for each of the top layers to do the blending using a mix of soft and hard brushes. So for your sky in your shot there you would use a soft brush to get a smooth blend.

    I've only used the photomerge on CS3 and I find it's fantastic, point it at the photo's and your done, I think it will adjust the levels etc. to stitch them properly.
    Sry not much use if you dont have a copy of CS4 :rolleyes:

    Fine then keep CS4 to yourself!


    The stitcher in CS3 is a vast improvement over CS2 and worth trying.
