Image Stitching

"Image stitching or photo stitching is the process of combining multiple photographic images with overlapping fields of view to produce a segmented panorama or high-resolution image. Commonly performed through the use of computer software, most approaches to image stitching require nearly exact overlaps between images and identical exposures to produce seamless results. Some digital cameras can stitch their photos internally."

Tutorial: Stitching and image together 
We were given a tutorial on how to stitch some images together to create a panorama. In this tutorial we were shown different techniques on how to create a seamless panorama by using tools like the warp tool and layer masks and then using adjustment layers to adjust the levels to help blending the images together.
The images that we had to use showed us what potential problems could occur and what we need to take into consideration when it comes to making our own. These particular images that were given were not all in alignment and there was a lot of line, which made it tricky when it came to putting them together. Below are a couple of screen shots, which shows what I have done so far in putting the images together.


<- I found putting these images together pretty challenging, it was hard to line the doors up and having the different lighting added to the difficulty. I have warped quite a bit of the image in order for it to look as though it is one image, the next thing that I need to do is to adjust the colour because the lighting is different on each image.


-> This end of the panorama was equally as challenging as the first half. I think the end bit of the picture will be the hardest part to match up not just because of the different lighting but because of the people that are in the pictures.
