When using photomerge, what characteristics of your source photos make them more or less able to be aligned properly? I am currently attempting to assemble one, and had zero troubles using all 24 images (I actually don't need to use this many, but when I took them I was ensuring that I had loads of overlap, thinking it would make this part easier...) when using the Auto layout, but none of the others ever seems to work, the program saying that it couldn't properly align the photos. The end result when this happens is a strip the correct length of all the photos, but all of them stacked directly on top of each other. Because performing such a large photomerge takes a bit, I'm trying to save myself some time by just messing around with it.
I know that there are lots of variables in images that could make the merging harder, but was wondering if there were some general guidelines.
The scene I am using is a landscape, and has sharply contrasting elements, so the alignment shouldn't be terribly difficult.
Would it improve things if I made a series of smaller pano's and then photomerged those resultants together? |
