Do you reposition the camera/drone manually, or let the drone take the photos automatically?
Can you do the same thing in Lightroom, or only in Photoshop. I know you use different processes than most with your hyperlapses, so assume you go a different route for panos too.
Do you just subscribe to the entire Adobe Cloud for all the apps?
Nice to hear from you!
Everything is done manually.
I use the GRID view on the RC Pro controller and the
Mavic 3. I place the center of the subject on the left side of the frame for the 1st shot. I move progressively across the field of view, overlapping by 25-30% each move of the thumb control (left stick). I take anywhere from 3 to 7 shots, and maybe an extra shot on each side for insurance.
I usually default my processing to Photoshop. I highlight all shots, (CTRL+A). I right click on any shot to bring up the drop down menu, and click the "Merge to Panorama" option. The rest is self explanatory. I make heavy use of the masking tool for the sky and foreground.
Lightroom and Photoshop use the same exact engine! (according to Colin Smith of Photoshop Cafe) who teaches Photoshop each year at the Adobe Show in Las Vegas and also creates for Adobe.
Every year, when my Adobe CC expires, I call them personally and plead for the discounted rate. They have not turned me down yet! I get the entire suite (over 26 apps that I will probably never use) for $26.00 a month billed monthly to my Master Card. I love getting PDF. I can open PDF docs and write on them. I save a lot of e-mails to PDF format. As far as AE (After Effects) I never use it. I use Photoshop mainly, Lightroom ONLY for LR Lightroom 6.0 timelapses, and Premiere Pro. I never use Illustrator, In Design, Dream Weaver,Animation, In Copy, Audition, etc. It is $312.00. year if you do the numbers.
I am out here in Montana for 2 more weeks before returning to hot and humid Miami.
Here is a 16 inch rainbow trout from yesterday.
