Sports PANO template

[dyimages]

So these new sports PANOs seem to be a big thing in the USA, I have only seen them here once and it was a US based firm offering them. As almost all of the photographers offering them are using the identical look and same effects on the text I am assuming this is a template offered by someone.

But I have spent 2--3 hours searching with no luck finding. Anyone come across these as a template or being offered for print through a commercial print service like Sylvanos.

You can make your own in photoshop (either CS or Elements)....lots of individual photos (preferably on green screen or a boring background so it is easy to crop out the idividual) that are copied onto a new image. Take a background image you like (ie, a panorama of an empty playing field), add fancy text, then import your individual players. Do this all on seperate layers so it is easy to make adjustments. Not sure how you get the shadows, would have to look for a tutorial on that, but I know you can make fake shadows. Once you have the look you want, save your .tif and do a save as a .jpg.
