Master the post-processing workflow for panorama photography with professional photographer Bob Coates. In this step-by-step tutorial, Bob walks through editing and stitching panoramic images using Adobe Camera Raw, Lightroom, and Photoshop Photomerge. Learn how to batch-apply adjustments across multiple frames, stitch images seamlessly, and remove vignettes automatically. Bob demonstrates how to clean up panorama edges with Content-Aware Fill, layer masks, and the Clone Stamp tool, ensuring smooth, natural results. You’ll also see how to enhance depth and dimension with soft light dodging and burning, apply targeted Camera Raw masks for sky and foreground balance, and experiment with creative cropping to tell different visual stories. Throughout, Bob explains the importance of saving layered files, duplicating merged layers for faster editing, and resizing for efficient workflow. This tutorial focuses entirely on panorama post-processing—giving you the tools to transform multiple overlapping shots into a polished, professional panorama that’s sharp, balanced, and ready to share or print.
