Panorama Exercise
I did this panorama the manual way by putting all 5 images onto one canvas then adjusting and distorting as required. This is the method i have used ever since i started making panoramas. I find the automated way in photoshop tends to have strange effects and warps the the final image. The subject matter are my own photos taken from a roadside store window in Kintamani looking at the Ganung Batur Volcano in 2010.
Progress in Photoshop CS4
The red X is approxamatelywhere I shot the photo from.

Colour Management Review Questions
1. What is the purpose of colour management ?
To ensure that colours remain accurate when they are used by devices or programs with different colour profiles or spaces
2. What problem makes colour management necessary ?
Different programs and devices can have different colour spaces (e.g. Adobe RGB/ ProPhoto RGB), which may not have the same gamut of colours
3. What are the components of a device profile (ie what information do they contain) ?
Colour space, gamut, colourants and modes of operation
4. What is the difference between a device profile and a working space ?
Working spaces (sRGB, Adobe RGB) each have different sized gamuts, you can switch between working spaces.The device profile contains info about a particular device’s colour gamut.
5. What is a ‘reference colour space’ and how are they used ?
Give an example of one.Colour models are within a reference colour space, such as CIELAB and CIEXYZ
6. What is the difference between ‘calibrating’ and ‘profiling’ ?-
Calibration sets the device into its best native state using its hardware controls.- Profiling is the process of measuring and fixing up any remaining inaccuracies in its colour output (http://www.imagescience.com.au/kb/questions/64/Calibration+versus+Profiling)
7. What is a Rendering Intent ?
Adapting some or all of the colours in an image to fit into the gamut of another device (e.g. from monitor to printer)
8. Which Rendering Intents are most useful to photographers, and when would you use each of them ?
Relative or perceptual.Perceptual rendering squashes colours so that they all fit within the gamut, but maintain tonal graduations.Relative rendering fits an image into a colour space by clipping out-of-gamut colours, and leaving in-gamut colours unchanged.
