Join Richard Harrington for an in-depth discussion in this video Selecting images and a merging method in Lightroom, part of Using Panoramic Photos for Motion Graphics and Visual Effects.
- Let's merge this HDR image…into a new panoramic photo.…This is going to give us a large, oversized image.…I take a look here at the photos…and it looks like I've got the complete dynamic range here.…And a lot of flexibility.…Now there's slight variations in exposure here…in some of these with this darker area.…But Lightroom should compensate for that.…With all the images selected, I'll choose Photo,…Photo Merge, Panorama.…We're going to allow it to automatically select…the correct method,…but Lightroom does support the ability…to create spherical panoramas,…as well as cylindrical, and perspective.…
We're going to stick with cylindrical here…because this is going to allow us…to wrap this in a 360 environment…inside of After Effects.…But let's just go ahead and click that Cylindrical there…and tell it what option we want.…This should speed up the merging process.…You'll notice that it did not correctly merge the files.…It gave us an error saying that the lens profile…couldn't be automatically detected.…So let's click Cancel for the second…
