sanyasi Posted November 21, 2011 Share #1 Posted November 21, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I put together my first panorama in Photoshop (15 inches by 48 inches). I tried to print it using Lightroom 3 and got an 8 by 11 of the middle section as my print. I went into the Epson driver (for the Epson 4880) and created a custom page size (17 by 52), as the Epson manual suggested. When I went back to Lightroom's print module, the size setting showed that I had 1 cell that was 17 inches by 52 inches so it seemed to me that the Epson print driver settings were in sync with Lightroom's print module. The pictured display of the print in the LR interface also showed a panorama. Is there some other setting that I need to be focused on? Thanks Jack Siegel P.S. My experience with other Epson printers shows that the drivers pretty much work the same way, so if you have another model, I would still appreciate any insights.

sanyasi Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share #2 Posted November 22, 2011 Problem solved. That's the right way to do it. Something didn't take, but after a day, I tried again and it worked. My panorama was shot hand held with an M9. The results were impressive for a first try without giving much thought to camera settings. This weekend probably will take the tripod out and see what a more thoughtful effort produces. Jack Siegel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanhulsenbeek Posted November 23, 2011 Share #3 Posted November 23, 2011 Inch-sizes do not tell very much without a pixel-per-inch count. In my experience M9 pano's can grow to impressive sizes. Wide-angle plus vertical works best and can easily deliver, in the case of 20 or so shots, sizes of more than 15000 pix wide. The detail then is incredible. Hand held works very well. Keep exposure and WB on manual. Some examples (M9 plus WATE in most cases) here: Zenfolio | Sander van Hulsenbeek Photography | New Zealand Panorama's Zenfolio | Sander van Hulsenbeek Photography | Panorama Photography For pano's with subject matter very close up, like Zenfolio | Sander van Hulsenbeek Photography | South Africa - Namibia | Photo 4 a tripod with a nodal point setup is indispensable.
