Thank you Cindy! I've been using Photoshop since 1990 and it's a vague boundary as to when is it used like one would use a darkroom and when does its use turn a photograph into a digitally manipulated result. I pay a lot of attention to that. In the case of stitching photographs together, I do it with a mind to producing the same result I would have gotten had I used one of the old great big view cameras, so, I still consider this end result one photograph. Also, I like showcasing in one glance how the Forum is long and how much it includes --something that would have been impossible with any ultra-wide lens without extreme distortion.
