Dear Everybody,
The attached image is a panorama, created by automation in Photoshop CC. It comprises six JPG taken hand-held (rotating about my waist) and cropped after photomerge. No processing of original images before photomerge.
Look closely at the horizon line and you can see a line of light and dark stripes, like dashes on the horizon. Note also that the sky, as seen through the trees which are silhouetted against the sky, is much lighter than the sky above and to the sides of the trees.
What causes this and how do I get rid of it? My efforts with a cloning brush are abysmal. And I can't imagine that my talents run to manually merging the photos.
Grateful for any help. :lol:
PS. The image is of the Sturt Plateau in the Northern Territory, Australia
Good Morning RTS, Just a couple of things, how much overlap do you have on each frame, and do you use FILL EDGES in your chosen stitch programme,?

It would also help us if you checked "store original" before sending.

Geoff, GWR100, pretty much summed up the questions I had.
--Bob
Did you use a constant speed/f-stop combo for each shot?
Did you use a polarizing filter?
Geoff, I suspect the overlap is about 30%. I try to put the one third point of the next image on the edge of the previous one. I'm not sure what 'fill edges' is. BobS
No polarising filter. Just a UV to protect the lens.
Longshadow
Same camera settings for each shot. This helps explain why the sky is darker on the edges of the panorama than in the middle. BobS
Hi Bob, I would try a little less than a third, maybe 15-20% max, ----I stitch in Photoshop, and when you have loaded all the pictures on to the programme and clicked OK it will stick them together and produce a picture that you have then cropped, but before you crop there is a box at the bottom that sakes if you want to fill edges, just tick that and it will square the set off and match fill the edges. I posted one about 18 months ago with about a 12 picture stitch, hand held and taken over a 4 mile valley, so if you look back over my posts you will find it, or I can post it here if you wish?
Its on page 5 of my posts

Dear All
A couple of things.
. First, I apologise for the all capitals heading.
. Second, I've re-attached the image and clicked on 'store original'
. Third, I've answered a couple of people separately. Let me reiterate. Same camera settings for each shot, overlap is about 30% (one third point lined up with edge of previous image), no polarising filter, don't know what 'fill edges' means. I have ticked 'merge edges' in Photoshop.
. Fourthly, I have attached another panorama taken in a different place at about the same time which I've quickly merged in Photoshop. There re nine images covering 270 degrees. While there is evidence of mis-alignment (check the power line), the dots and dashes are missing from the horizon.
Thank you for taking the time to consider my problem
BobS
These are not at a all bad Bob, one thing I would say is that you will usually have something either missed of or duplicated with stitched pano's, but you can remove or clone what is or isn't there. Have fun,
Geoff

I think it looks fine in the download version.
