I drove down to Big Sur today.  Right around sunset I grabbed a 7 shot handheld panorama at the edge of a cliff near the Bixby Creek Bridge.  I used the CS5 Photomerge functionality to automatically align and then stitch the images together.  It did an amazing job, don’t you think?

One problem with making panoramas is that the the corners are usually too short due to automatic distortion correction, but that’s not a problem with Photoshop CS5. I cropped the image above leaving some of the corner(s) natural and used the Content Aware Fill feature to fill in the missing pieces.  Can you tell which is which?  I can’t.  It’s like magic. It’s just amazing!  Way to go Photoshop team, CS5 is going to change the game big time.

Tomorrow I head over to Yosemite.  Hopefully it’s a good day for that too.

P.S. Check the photo out at Flickr “Sunset Through a Break” and see it bigger over there.
