- Problems to DATE
- Our original mock up looked flat and was a bit simplistic thanks to its dark lighting, for this attempt we chose a photo with more complex lighting requirements.
- Lighting had to be adjusted in all three to look somewhat similar. First phase of adding the brick church it looked out of place because its resolution was significantly higher than the background, added some blur with retain edge sharpness filter from paintshop to even effect out. Halo's around buildings is harder to remove than anticipated will attempt on a better image program to decrease the glow. Shadows on three photos was fortunately from the same direction and did not need to be played with. Some manipulation of size was necessary to combine the photos. The original grainy appearance of the first photo (its rain not blur ;) made combining the photos easier because its more forgiving to mistakes. It is difficult to place the extra buildings so that they look natrual in their enviroment. We wish to add more elements to this photo and further fine tune it.
- We had a little bit of difficulty finding photos that could be comfortably combined. Ideally we would like to retake some of our Paris and Rome photos with this project in mind but obviously that isnt an option. We are therefore using our Rome/Paris photos as a base and may rephotograph some areas of Barcalona to better fit our given images.
Original Mock up, Collosum, Leaning tower of Pisa and Italian beach, combined and darkened for simplicity.

Basic merge effort of the three cities...

Original base photo: View from top of eiffle tower
Weird building and a bit of sky scraper background from Barcalona added (small halo remaining around buildings)
Small Brick church and nearby building added from Rome view.
First attempt: attempt to get a basic size and "feel" for the city
Second attempt: shrank obvious halo, adjusted colors, added rome building
