Panorama Pictures
These images were made by taking several pictures, panning the camera between each image, and then ‘stitching’ together the individual frames to make a complete panorama. Recent versions of Photoshop (CS3 on) now include an excellent automation for aligning and blending multiple images. My main motivation in making panoramic photos is to create high-resolution desktop images for the triple-monitor display in my office. This uses three Dell 24 inch displays, driven by two video cards. The trick to stretching a single image across three (or two) monitors is to first set the image dimensions (e.g. in Photoshop) to EXACTLY match the total dimensions of the displays. For example, using three monitors with 1200 x 1900 resolution, the image would be sized to 1200 x 5700 pixels. Then simply select the image file as the desktop using the TILE option.If you have a multiple monitor display, please feel free to download any of the high-resolution images here. Some are scaled to 1200 x 4800 pixel resolution; others are at the full original resolution (as much as 40 Mpix) and come with a warning that they will be slow to download! |
