Here's our image after cropping. Our panorama is coming along nicely. Photomerge did most of the work, but a few minor adjustments need to be made.

I'll start by increasing the brightness and contrast a little. I can do this by going to the "Image" menu, scroll down to "Adjustments" and slide over and down to "Brightness/Contrast." Some may prefer another method, like using "Levels" and that is fine, but this works fine for me.

I am going to increase the Brightness by 11% and the Contrast by 9%. This makes the image look and stand out better, more like what the actual scene looked like.

While we are at it, in the near vicinity, is the "Hue/Saturation" controls. I think I will add a little saturation to my photo. I go to the "Image" menu, slide down to "Adjustments" and slide over and down to "Hue/Saturation."
I am going to add 4% saturation to make it pop off the screen a little more. The increased saturation and contrast helps give the image more of a "Velvia" look, similar to the popular Velvia slide film I like to use when shooting with 35mm film.

Sharpening the image a little couldn't hurt. To do this, I go to the "Filter" menu, slide down to "Sharpen" and then slide over and down to "Unsharp Mask." The name is misleading, but is really what I want to do some sharpening.
I am going to use an Amount of 50% to sharpen this photo up a little bit.
