For those of us who occasionally emerge from under large rocks, I
wanted to introduce you this. Adobe has added a new feature in the
panorama merge function: Boundary Warp.
This is a VERY useful feature and provides another means of getting
the most coverage area out of your panoramas without resorting to
smart fill and other tools to keep from having to aggressively crop
your merged images.
What it does is when you do a panorama merge, you have all that empty
space around the edges that is outside the stitched images themselves.
Usually you have to crop to the point where you no longer have any
dead space, but in doing so, you also end up throwing away a lot of
pixels along the edges of the images. Boundary Warp, instead,
stretches and bends the image area to fill the entire frame. No
cropping necessary.
It's doesn't always work for everything, and you don't have to go all
the way to extremes with it either, but it is another tool in the box
which is quite helpful.
This is similar to the warp function in PWP, but is done automatically
and works on more "grab points".
