2.Take the pictures. Start at the left side.
3.Include half of the previous picture in your next picture. It will make the stitching process easier. Though any overlap will do. Note: When taking the pictures, check your exposure. If exposures are off from one photo to the next there will be a stitch line in the panorama.
4.Check to make sure you took pictures of the whole scene before leaving.

* The more pictures you have, the better it will look, but the longer it will take.
* Make sure all the pictures are at the same angle, and about the same size.
* Save it as a JPEG if you know you're not going to work on the image anymore. Save it as a PSD if you think you're going to work on the image more (each time a JPEG is saved, the image is compressed again).
