To create this panorama, I made the first image its own layer and copy and pasted in the next layer. By lowering the opacity and using the move tool, I lined up the photos as best I could. Nothing was too unaligned. Next, I applied a layer mask and blended the two photos together, hiding the crease between the photos. I did this same thing for every single photo that I added. I used the clone stamp for some last touch-ups and then, I cropped the entire panorama, cutting out some messy looking clone-stamped grafiti. Lastly, I increased the saturation on the entire picture to make the colors brighter. My main goal was to emphasize the colors and I think that was achieved fairly well. I also really like the depth of the picture and how it is almost 3-dimensional. I wish I wouldn't have had to crop out the portion of brick wall that I removed because of bad alignment, but overall, I don't think it harmed the finish product. I like how it turned out in the end, especially because the models are my best friends. They are my favorite part of the picture and it makes me smile to look at it because it reminds me of them. (:
