TIP: Get better panos

You can give yourself a much better chance of success with Photoshop's Photomerge command if you shoot your images following this checklst:

1. use a tripod
2. Shoot vertically
3. turn off all auto command such as auto focus, auto exposure and auto white balance
4. overlap each image by 15 - 20%

Then you'll typically have a lot less work to do with Photomerge.
