Panorama/photoshop help (+k)

[bo0b]

Hey guys, so I'm trying to do a Brenizer in Photoshop, and every time I stitch it it ends up looking like this:

I've tried resizing, deleting unneeded photos, and I can't figure it out. There's probably a simple solution but I'm new to photoshop and don't really know my way around it yet. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

What do you use to stitch your pictures together?

You might want to PTGui, that's what I use for my pano's.

Is there any good software for doing panoramic sequences? Like merging them together as a panorama but then having the skier in different positions. Photoshops automate function puts them really far apart and discards a lot of the frames, so you only have like 3 shots of the skier and a panorama when you inputted 10 different shots.

Right now I'm using Photoshop CS6, and the Brenizers I do are about 50/50, some work some don't, but I'm gonna try PTGui Pro, thanks a lot, already had you at 10 haha.

I've used Hugin successfully before. It apparently is less stable, but is free (open-sourced). The demo of PTGui inserts watermarks. (Hugin on Wikipedia).

I honestly haven't tried PTGui for a few years, and have tried Hugin more recently. It was a very manual process in matching the photos, but the best results are always done manually. Worked great for helping me keep horizons straight, when Photoshop made horizons not-quite perfectly straight. (I made the mistake of not having enough overlap in the photos).

It's one more option to consider.
