Chapter 12. Wide Receiver Creating Panoramas


Before we get into this chapter, I think it's important that you acquaint yourself with some "insider" panorama jargon, some "panoterminology" (if you will), so the next time you're at one of those underground pano-parties, you don't create a panoramic-sized faux pas that gets you shunned from the panorama community at large. Let's begin. First, never, ever refer to a panorama as a "panorama." That's like getting caught using Photoshop's Paint Bucket toolit brands you as a beginner, and once they think you're a weenie, you're always a weenie. From now on, always refer to them as "panos." You shoot panos. Now, the act of putting these panos together is called "stitchin'." So, when making small talk at a pano-party, just casually mention something like this, "I'm really beat. I've been stitchin' panos all day." They'll all nod in agreement, as if to say, "Me too, dude. I know where you're coming from." Now, each segment you shoot has a special name too. Don't make the mistake of calling them "the left segment" or "the center segment." They'll have security escort you from the premises. So, call the left pano segment "the flabengaffer," the center segment "the barfnoor," and the rightmost segment "the fleepinflopper." Also, never refer to Photoshop's Photomerge feature by its official name. Always refer to it as "Baabaaleepdonk," and don't even mention the Automate menu. Just call it "Slapumgoogoogonk." Use it, and you may even draw a gasp from the partygoers (don't be surprised if you're signing a few autographs before you leave the party). By the way, they always refer to the File menu as "the File menu." I don't know why.
