Create panoramas
Lightroom lets you easily merge photos of a landscape into a breathtaking panorama. You can see a quick preview of
the panorama and make adjustments to it before the merged image is generated.
1 Select the source images in Lightroom.
2 Select Photo > Photo Merge > Panorama or press Ctrl/Control+M.
3 In the Panorama Merge Preview dialog box, choose Auto Select Projection if you want Lightroom to automatically
select a layout projection. Lightroom analyzes the source images and applies either a Perspective, Cylindrical, or
Spherical layout, depending on which projection produces a better panorama. Alternatively, you can choose a layout
projection manually:Spherical: Aligns and transforms the images as if they were mapped to the inside of a sphere.
This projection mode is great for really wide or multirow panoramas.Perspective: Projects the panorama as if it were
mapped to a flat surface. Since this mode keeps straight lines straight, it is great for architectural photography. Really
wide panoramas may not work well with this mode due to excessive distortion near the edges of the resulting
panorama.Cylindrical: Projects the panorama as if it were mapped to the inside of a cylinder. This projection mode
works really well for wide panoramas, but it also keeps vertical lines straight.
All of these projection modes work equally well for both horizontal and vertical panoramas.

While previewing the panorama, select Auto Crop to remove undesired areas of transparency around the merged
image.
