i hope this is in the right section if not i am sorry. i stitched this together last night in photoshop from several images i would like to get it printed and framed but i would first like to get a little more out of it by adjusting color and contrast and what not but i am not that experienced in photo editing.

here is a sample of the image if someone would be so kind as to help me i could email you the psd file or maybe someone could give me some advice that would be great also thanks

btw its a picture i took in switzerland

well... I can help if you want...
let me know what you want done.
If you want to do it yourself, using the curves command is an easy way to make contrast adjustments.

Nice pano... It doesn't look like it needs much.

The photo is quite nice, but how large are you planning on printing this?

i dont see any flaws in the stitching anywhere.

The image does seem to suffer from jpeg compression and/or a low megapixel camera.

I would say theres definatly a limit to how large you can print this and still have it look good.

hi! nice photo! i don't see any obvious "mistakes", too. i second shade's post. another problem in printing could be white in printing isn't "printing white" but leaving those spaces empty, so later those little sharp details in your photo's snow areas could look like "floating" in white. also, printing colors are normally less brilliant than what you see on your monitor and look a little bit darker. so i think the paper is very important (glossy or not, how thick etc.). oh, do you even want to print it on paper or another medium?
i guess the most important thing is to sit down with the guys that will print it. give your photo to them and ask what they can do with it (size/quality/brightness). but besides all that technical stuff: great photo!
