[Update<\/b>: Though the interactive mode of Photomerge is no longer installed by default in Photoshop CS4, you can download & install the plug-in: see links for Mac<\/a> & Win<\/a>.]<\/p>\n

The Photoshop team could use your guidance in setting priorities around our panorama-creation tools. <\/p>\n

The automatic alignment & blending features introduced in CS3 have been really well received<\/a> by photographers creating panoramas.  Panorama creation in CS2 and earlier relied on use of an interactive dialog (screenshot<\/a>) that enabled the user to adjust the position and rotation of images before blending them together.  The improved algorithms in CS3, however, can usually produce good results without any user interaction, which is why Photomerge now defaults to “Auto” (screenshot<\/a>) and bypasses the interactive dialog unless you request it.<\/p>\n

So, here’s the question: Do we even need the interactive dialog anymore?  It’s built on an aging framework, so keeping it around would require some investment.  If you create panoramas using Photoshop CS3 and rely on the dialog, please let us know the details<\/strong> <\/em>(via the comments) of how & why.<\/p>\n

Thanks,
\nJ.<\/p>\n

PS–General feedback on panorama creation in Photoshop is always welcome, too, though the fate of the dialog is the most urgent issue. <\/p>\n
