Auto-blend Layers in Photoshop CS3
Aseem Agarwala| Adobe Systems
We developed the underlying technology for the new, "auto-blend layers" feature in Photoshop CS3, which can seamlessly blend a stack of aligned, overlapping image layers. The most common usage is panoramic stitching; simply use the Photomerge feature for one-step construction of a panorama from a set of photographs. The technology behind auto-blend layers is described in several SIGGRAPH papers.
Here are a few links to articles and videos about the feature:
- John Nack blog
- Demo videos by Russell Brown ( 1 & 2), Sujay Thomas, Lynda.com
- Panoramas on flickr.com tagged with CS3 & photomerge, or CS3 & auto-blend
- A fun example of stitching group shots, which is a challenging case for typical stitchers
