You could use layer masks to accomplish this. duplicating a layer and using multiply to darken or screen to lighten will get you started. you can use the opacity slider to finesse the thing and then refine it by painting on the layer mask.
OK, thanks. That helped a lot.
But I still have some fine tuning to do. For example, the absolute middle picture is where the light primarily goes from darker (left) to lighter (right). So I can’t get it quite balanced. On both sides, the lights/blues (snow) are slightly bluer and slightly whiter both. And I can’t quite get it. The rest is fine, except what didn’t match quite as good as the rest is the skyline (this is a panoramic photo from the top of a large ski bowl, so it’s primarily blues and whites.
Thanks!!!
I recently did one of these from 5 photos that were shot with auto exposure so they were all slightly different.
I used Curve adjustment layers and looked at them channel by channel to get them to match up. Worked really well.
peace
Generally putting your camera on manual and keeping the exposure consistent throughout is a better way to do these, but on real wide shots,it inevitably will have darker and lighter regions. overlapping around 50 percent makes blending easier in the end.
