Panography style filter ????

I know about the Panography technique for making photo collages

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panography

Quote
Panography, or Joiners, is a photographic technique in which one picture is assembled from several overlapping photographs. This can be done manually with prints or by using digital image editing software.

I already know that Filter Forge Can´t be used to make photo collages with lots of different images as it can only work with just ONE AND ONLY, well at least in FF 2.0, as announced in FF 3.0 will be possible to have more than one.

I just want to show you examples of panographies and perhaps you could have interesting ideas to make something different with another style multiplying or overlapping photos in some weird way as a Filter Forge filter.

Hope this can be useful to someone

Thanks for your comment Skybase, and is true that the REAL Panography I also think that is impractical and never would be possible to match many photos toghether in FF as it has never been designed to make this kind of things.

Skybase said: However, the STYLE of it is easily doable.

YES, Exactly, this is the KEY and main point of this thread, I do not want or suggest to make a filter for MAKING Panography, As the title of the thread tells, is about the STYLE of this technique that could be reproduced not to match different kind of photos, BUT:

IDEA 1 - could possibly be done with ONE photo but repeating it in multiple positions and rotations and giving transparency to each one.

IDEA 2 - Take One photo and cut many square bits from the middle to the border and arrange them randomly or with any kind of order adding to the outside of the photo

IDEA 3 - FOR FF 3.0 That have multiple images, could choose a little few similar photos that could be mixed with transparency in some way

Yeah, you could easily do that style: Just make a big scatter using a bomber. Have it tint the bomber particles from white to black. Then use that output to A) offset the image slightly, and also change the tone of the image slightly.

Recently, I made the boxes rectangular and transparent. I also added a selection component which lets the user define the borders of the...um... (panogram?). Other parameters were fiddled with as well.

My photo this time. Wish I had more panoramic (long) shots.

Looking for another different thing by chance I have fallen in this website again and then I remembered that I thought I have already asked about this in the forum and then I forgot about this

This web is from the JPG Magazine about Panography

Hello, Have you done something with this, and you gone further, or you leaved and forgot about it ?

I know that a real panography must be done with MANY different photos, but there is ALSO the panography technique based on converting ONE single photo into a panography style photo.

YES! thanks for the suggestion, I like this filter very much, BUT I am Sorry to say that this is NOT at all Panography style.

This filter has NO transparency and opacity in the tiles and this is essential for the panography, also the rotation of the tiles is regular inside the "chaos"

And have you seen a panography that is SEAMLESS

See below the closest thing that is possible with the b15fliptop filter (yes I know is possible to reduce the burning of the borders of the tiles, but then it looks very flat)

And here is the same photo above modified with the Panography-ish picnik filter

In this thread there has been some confusion made by me showing the real Panography photo collages that are not possible to make in Filter Forge, and I suggested to make a filter without telling that there is a ONE single Photo technique, so I am sorry for the confusion and was my error.

So to avoid the confusion and repair in some way the error I have made a new thread dedicated ONLY to what is really possible perhaps on filter forge.
