About This Project
You are looking at the Manhattan skyline as viewed from Fort Greene, Brooklyn, New York City.
Unlike with the daytime version of this panorama , I didn't use Photoshop to fill in the sky with its AI tools - instead, I just filled in the empty parts of the panorama with a dark color. The effect isn't as satisfying as the realistic sky, but it takes significantly less time to create.
The EXIF data associated with the panorama is below:
| EXIF Tag | Value |

| Full Resolution | 91399 by 30988px = 2.83 Gigapixels |
To create this image, I used the following tools:
- PTGui Pro 12.21 for stitching the panorama
- Photoshop to fill the transparent gaps in the sky in the final panorama (I don't know how to get PTGui to properly stitch images without control points)
- ImageMagick to convert the
.psbfile from Photoshop into a PNG file (Photoshop can't export PNG files larger than 2GB; the one ImageMagick created was 3.91GB) - libvips to create the image pyramid from the full-resolution panorama
- OpenSeadragon to create the above image viewer
