ACR 7 and Panorama Images

Apr 21, 2012 7:55 AM

PV2012 has image adaptive sliders. I assume this means if you apply the same settings to a group of images shot for a panorama that you don't get the same adjustments to each image since the sliders are image adaptive. When I shoot images for panoramas, I set the camera in manual mode so all receive the same exposure and then apply the same adjustments to each image. I have not tried this with CS6 yet. Anyone have any comments on this potential problem?

No, but I'd also be interested in the reply.

I don't do panoramas, but two options come to mind:
a) leave originals alone and apply adjustments to the stitched panoarama.
b) use PV2010

Not sure if it helps.

I guess I didn't realize the implication of adaptive sliders. I use the "Match Total Exposures" in Lightroom, then I auto-sync my adjustments. I haven't noticed a lot of problems with my panoramas. Here is one that I did with Lightroom 4.1 RC and Photoshop CS 5. It isn't a great image, I know. Four vertical-oriented images done the way I have described. I thought it went together fairly well. I'm practicing for my trip to the Grand Tetons this summer.

I tried one using ACR 7 in CS6 Beta and it worked ok. I did this using Photomerge in CS6 from 18 NEF files (3 rows of 6 images each). I plan to be in the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone in late June and will be shooting more panaroma images.
