HT2293 - Stitching as a Wide Angle Workaround The other day I was out photographing with a single lens, a longish zoom, and found myself in a pickle. The shot I wanted required a wide angle of view I would normally capture with a wide-angle lens. Since I didn't have one, I simply stitched a pano and accomplished a result that was close enough.

If they look at a large print, say 28x42" and have X amount of experience, what fractional portion of X will they have with a smaller print, say an 8x10"? Caution, this may be a trick question.

HT2288 - Lightroom Mobile Now in My Everyday Workflow Until recently, I never considered Lightroom Mobile a serious tool. Simply said, my phone screen is too small for me to consider Lightroom Mobile's image processing of any value.
