So this week I have created a new video that demonstrates two key techniques for enhancing skin tones in your people photos. We also have a great live e-seminar on how to create panoramas using Photomerge scheduled for the 27th of this month. This is an open seminar (no need to be a member to view) so feel free to invite your friends to join us. Just go to this web address http://pacific.adobe.acrobat.com/pse8-pano/ on the day and time of the seminar to see the demonstration. Until then, good luck with your imaging! Philip Andrews |

Creating Stunning Panoramas with PhotomergeWide angle vistas are truly sexy! I have been shooting them for year. Firstly with a Noblex camera and then, using digital SLRs, stitching overlapping photos to form the wide thin prints. When I first started making panoramas in this way, the equipment and software was expensive and the process difficult. Now you can create stunning vistas by seamlessly blending several images together in a matter of a few minutes. You no longer need specialist equipment and Photoshop Elements supplies all the stitching power with its Photomerge feature. This E-seminar walks you through the various steps involved in producing a stitched panorama. If you haven't joined one of our e-seminars before, it's easy! All you need to do is log in to this web address http://pacific.adobe.acrobat.com/pse8-pano/ at the times listed below, turn on your speakers and sit back and see me demonstrate the program. The program will consist of a presentation and then time for questions. Don't worry if you can't make the live demo as I will record the session and make it available later in the Member's Live Seminars archives. |
