New Image Compositing, Panoramic Photography Features Coming From Adobe

Earlier last month, Adobe had a
financial analyst meeting where they demo'd
some new technology they are currently working on.
Two of the demos were done by Photoshop PM
John Nack and both them related to merging
images into a composite scene.
Below, is a screen shot from a cool demonstration. Here, John took a series of macro photographed images with selective focus (meaning, there was an extremely shallow depth of field for each image). When all of the images were merged, a composited "in focus" image was produced. But seeing is believing (and easier to understand). So, go to about 19 minutes into the webinar to see this in action.

The second demo featured a glimpse into something (IMHO) long overdue in Photoshop -- 360x180 panoramic stitching. In this demo, a series of indexed images were stitched together, resulting in a equirectangular image (just like PTMac or PTGui produces). But wait, there's more. The scene was then mapped to a sphere, allowing John to pan around the image. When he noticed there was a stitch seam that needed to but cleaned up, he simply used Photoshop's existing tools for the clean-up.
Finally!
