| Hi,
I tried to make a photomerge. Please have a look at the result that is
here:
http://predict.chem.uw.edu.pl/dgfoto/merge-1s.jpg
I used tripod, manual exposure (Pentax ist DS) and RAW files. I shot
within a few seconds. I used "synchronize" option when importing RAW
files to Photoshop. Do you have any idea where the stripes come from?
OK, I have the stripes. Is there any one-click-way to adjust exposure
on the pictures to get a nice panorama?
I suppose it's quite common problem and you have already solved it.
Thanks for your help,
Dominik

Begin at the beginning. You used manual exposure, but did you use
exactly the same exposure for each frame? That is absolutely necessary.
Synchronizing or adjusting disparate exposures after the fact is a bad
way to try to make up.
If you did you use the same exposure for each frame, then just bring in
each frame without any adjustments to each, do the merge, then use
adjustments to the final image.

Photomerge in CS2 sucks. Wait for CS3 or buy another product like PTGui.
Meanwhile, try Autostitch.

| I wonder if, since they were in RAW format, Adobe Camera RAW automatically
adjusted the middle photo before the files were brought into Photoshop for
the merge. Before trying it again be sure to turn off all automatic
formatting in Camera RAW.

No, its not that, I do panos from raw files all the time, and I never get
good results with Photomerge. I batch convert using ACR to tiff format and
then use PTGui to do the stitching and blending.
The new CS3 has a greatly improved Photomerge as well as many other
improvements.

| Dominik said he used manual exposure on all three shots. I took that to mean
he kept the same shutter speed, f-stop and ISO settings. Since the middle
photograph was much lighter than the other two the only explanation I could
think of is that some kind of post processing took place.
Can you think of another reason Rudy?
Just as another suggestion... if you keep the originals as separate layers
you have more flexiblity for manual blending using curves and layer masks.
I've not tried any other software for photomerge other than CS2 and now the
beta CS3 but am aware many feel other products do a much better job.
