When I attempted to install Adobe Photoshop CS5 on Thursday 22nd December 2010, the installer got to 11% and stuck. I downloaded the trial as suggested by Adobe, same result. Eventually a second support technician who I spoke to the next day was able to put her finger on the problem and resolved it.

I have been trying to create Photomerged images without success since then, so on 4th February I bit the bullet again and called Adobe technical support. Eventually there was that eureka moment when I was able to successfully create Photomerged panoramic images again. The technician was audibly very happy with a successful result, all down to a malfunctioning preferences file.

The original photographs in the two creations below were taken with the Nikkor 10.5mm lens, in the first image I used 14 Photomerged photographs and in the second 23.

A panoramic view of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, the home of our much loved Chelsea Pensioners, "The Men in Scarlet". Website here the hospital was founded in 1682 by King Charles II.

This image has been produced from a ten shot (10 x 1) hand held series of photographs, purposly taken off centre as the flag pole and its Union flag would have partially obscured the clock tower.

Produced using Photomerge in Adobe Photoshop CS5.

On my way home yesterday from Derby and saw these amazing layered clouds. Looking north east from the bridge over the A50 in Aston on Trent towards Shardlow and beyond.

It is a seven shot panorama, the cam in portrait orientation, Photomerged in Adobe Photoshop CS4.


This photograph was taken just after the ones above, I like the way the tree is illuminated, the sun is getting low down even at 13:20hrs and casting a long shadow. The tree has no life of its own, however it is giving support to the ivy growing around the trunk. Interesting clouds again shown in this capture.
