Tecnique.

While doing this project, I've learned a few new techniques for stitching images together that i never new before. When i started this, I figured it would be a simple cut and paste job, but after creating two effective panoramas, i now know that it takes a lot more than just that. Luckily, photoshop has the right tools to achieve a clean stitch, with a bit of work.


The first tool that I have been using is the quick mask tool.

 What the quick mask tool does, is it allows you to select objects, or even parts of objects using the brush tool. This is effective, because you can change the opacity of the brush tool, allowing you to select a small amount of an object, or a large thick bit of the object. It is especially effective when trying to get shadows right on your stitch.

 

Another tool that I have found to be very useful is the layer mask tool.


The layer mask tool allows you to place a mask over the selected layer. Its like putting tracing paper over and image to see what it would look like if you added other things to it. It wont damage the image underneath the mask, allowing you to see what works and what won't.
