There is no need to chase after special cameras, wide-angle lenses, and other accessories. The main thing is to have a fairly decent camera, a sturdy tripod, and, of course, Adobe Photoshop. How exactly to shoot a panorama is covered in a separate tutorial, but in this one, we will pursue to combine the shots into a single wide view.

Let's hear. First, let's gather all the photos that need to be stitched into a panoramic shot into a separate folder.

Go to the Photoshop menu File-Automate-PhotomergeFile-Automate-Photomerge.

Now we need to merge the images together. To do this, go to the menu <wild>Layer-Merge Visible</wild>Layer-Merge Visible.
