Dark patches at the seams of a panorama
The sky in this panorama... I noticed it after I was done editing. It would seem the edges of the frame were darker then the middle. What would the best way to fix this be? I tried playing a bit with the healing brush/clone stamp, but haven't found anything that looks natural yet. Would rather not go back to the beginning of the process (to fix where I should've in the first place) at this point. Suggestions? — Rhododendrites talk | 05:54, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- I'm certainly not an expert in this kind of editing, but here's what I'd try: As it seems to be mostly a matter of brightness, likely due to the lens vignetting at the borders, I'd go for the dodging tool or similar. Use a very large brush with very soft edges, set the tool to low opacity, and go across the relevant sections multiple times. That should make the results much more … uhm … organic. Photoshop pros would probably do something similar with "adjustment layers" as they are non-destructive and it seems to be easier to make corrections if you went to far somewhere – but as I haven't totally understood how they work yet, I can't really give you instructions for that. If there's a good lens correction profile with vignetting correction available for your lens, it would probably make sense to use that before stitching next time ;-) Cheers, --El Grafo (talk) 09:01, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
