Photoshop Elements 3
Creating a Photomerge

 

Getting Started

  1. Open the file “Project 8 General Grant Bottom.jpg”
  2. Open the file “Project 8 General Grant Top.jpg”

Creating a Photomerge

  1. From the main menu select “File – New – Photomerge Panorama”,
  2. In the window that comes up you should have both of the above files listed.  If so, select OK.
  3. The two parts of the General Grant tree will be placed together in a preview.  If so, check the box “Advanced Blending” then click OK.
  4. After Photoshop Elements finishes the photo you can correct the image by rotating left – “Image – Rotate – 90o Left”
  5. Since the two parts were not precisely aligned you should crop the resulting photo using the Crop Tool.

Create a Second Photomerge

  1. Close all photo files.
  2. Open the files “Project 8 Redwood Bottom” and “Project 8 Redwood Top”
  3. From the main menu select “File – New – Photomerge Panorama”.
  4. Again, the names of the files will be listed and you select OK.
  5. This time Photomerge could not automatically arrange the images.  Click OK on the dialog box.
  6. Drag one of the images from the top row into the main screen.
  7. Drag the second image into the main screen placing it over the first image so that it matches as close as you can make it.  When you release the mouse button the two images should snap together.
  8. Click on “Perspective” and check “Advanced Blending” then click OK.
  9. Finish by rotating and cropping.
