In PS CS6 & CC there is the "Adaptive Wide Angle" filter that can provide correction for Fish-eye and ultra-WA lenses as well as some manual correction . All of that goes beyond what could previously be achieved with the "Lens Correction" filter. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qSEIHXkFsM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oqjfSPUtj4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJl9IHZZQkk -- Regards, Savageduck |

That looks complicated, but actually the "earth curve" effect isn't so bad. I tried to stitch some together but that didn't work out very well either. The shots were set up taking one photo every 1/2 second while the copter was hovering and rotating around getting a 360 degree view. I thought it would be a neat effect to have a circular photo but I got impatient with the photostitch panorama. -- m-m photo gallery: http://mhmyers.com |
