Not So Storm Clouds. I tried the CS3 Photomerge with 5 raw photos that I'd never opened. This is the default result (with one little curve added:) ) It took some time but it seems to work good. (I finally chopped down my Century Plant bloom, BTW, if you can't tell)

That looks absolutely seamless. Great job.

No fair blue sky, we're expecting the first big snow this weekend.

That looks absolutely seamless. Great job.It was totally automated. Photomerge did everything, I just pointed it to the 5 photos. Seems to me I've tried Photoshop's photomerge before, but the CS3 version I think has been improved a lot.

No fair blue sky, we're expecting the first big snow this weekend.that was last saturday. It was very nice all last week, but out of nowhere it rained very hard last night and this morning. It's drizzly right now. I'm afraid to turn on the news, because of all the mud slides that might have occurred.

i was amazed at Macworld when they were showing the photomerge and how well it worked with the example they had. i had my doubts (who wouldn't), but i've seen many automated photmerges now, and they all are basically perfect. great job adobe!

I thought that Photomerge in CS3 automatically corrected the curves - maybe you are referring to the overall tonal quality.

I recently took a panorama of Nokia Theatre L.A. Live from the roof of Staples Center. I set the exposure to the hottest frame and then turned off auto exposure but it still changed a bit. Since I'm still on CS2 I had to do some serious number by number channel matching. Turned out well.

Looks nice Repro. I just bought a Canon 400D for my wife - we are going to New Orleans in a week - I'll try and post some results when I get back.

I was really surprised myself. I selected raw photos that had never been opened through bridge or photoshop or anything. It took a long time because it had to open and process all the raw photos in the background before merging them. Its also interesting to see the layer masks that result from the photomerge.
