Expand Your Horizon: Luminar Neo Panorama Stitching

Understanding Panorama Stitching

1. What is panorama stitching?

If you’re new to panoramic photography, let me break it down. Imagine standing at a breathtaking view, a wide sweeping landscape. But here’s the catch: your camera’s frame can only capture a portion of the view you are seeing. That’s where panoramic stitching plays a role, seamlessly blending the photos to craft a single, awe-inspiring photograph.

Here’s the secret sauce: you take a series of overlapping shots, each framing a piece of the scene, almost like assembling a jigsaw puzzle. Images are combined using software like Luminar Neo’s Panoramic Stitching to create a magnificent panoramic view of the scene.

2. What types of images can be stitched?

• You can stitch RAW or JPEG files into seamless panoramic masterpieces.
• Combine multiple exposure and pano brackets into a single HDR panorama, preserving all the finer details.
• Create Panos from your videos.
• Select specific subjects within a video and showcase them in a panoramic form!

Remember, it’s all Semi-Automatic.

3. Which projection modes are available?

It treasures a range of powerful projection modes – Spherical, Cylindrical, Mercator, Plane, and Fisheye. Here’s how you can use each:

• Starting is simple. Import your images, then locate the Panorama Stitching tool in the cataloque.
• Choose your projection mode. For expansive scenery, try out “Spherical” and “Cylindrical”.
• For architectural images, I recommend “Plane” – it keeps straight lines straight!
• “Mercator” minimizes vertical stretching, while “Fisheye” gracefully handles diagonal lines.
• “Warp” your panorama, adjust, and hit “Continue”.
• Crop your image to a satisfactory format.
• Finally, hit “Save”. That’s all!

Navigate these modes with ease and step up your panorama game with Luminar Neo. Practice often for the best results.
