Create a stunning hi-res panorama

You do the snapping. Adobe Lightroom does the stitching.

With the Panorama mode on an iPhone or iPad, anyone can photograph a sweeping landscape. But capturing a high-dynamic-range (HDR) higher-res image, one where you can zoom in on a distant cliff and see every craggy detail, requires a different technique, one pros have used for years.

The secret? Take a series of high-quality photos and stitch them into one ultra-wide shot brimming with gorgeous details and rich colours. The Mac version of Lightroom helps you pull this off with just a few clicks, and it even works with HDR images.

Before getting started, make sure you have signed up for a Lightroom subscription from your Mac (rather than your iPhone or iPad) for access to the features described below.

Start by snapping a series of HDR images on your iPhone.
