The вЂAutoвЂ™ layout setting gets it right most of the time. Select OK and let Photoshop do all of the work - and what a lot of work it has to do aligning and blending all of these images and even juggling which is the best exposure to use for any given location. In the Photomerge dialog box click on the Add Open Files button and select the вЂAutoвЂ™ radio button in the Layout options. A second set of six images was then created with an exposure that was optimized for the right side of the panorama (the dark side) but this has led to overexposure in the last two frames that point towards the sun. Six images were then captured even though the exposure was not perfect for the right side of the panorama - away from the sunrise (the images are a little dark).

The camera was first set to a manual mode and an exposure was selected that was perfect for the rising sun in this scene (the brighter side of the panorama). In this project I have used a total of twelve images using two different exposure setting. From the File > New menu choose Photomerge Panorama. Open the processed images in the Edit space of Photoshop Elements. Select all of the images from the destination folder you created in the process Multiple Files dialog box. Check вЂConvert Files to:вЂ™ and choose the JPEG Max Quality option. Check вЂResize ImagesвЂ™ and select a more reasonable size. Select the вЂSourceвЂ™ folder of images (hit the Browse button) and then select a destination folder of where you would like your processed files to be saved. It is strongly recommended when using an older computer, or a computer with less than 1 GB of RAM, to downsize very large images - unless of course you want to wallpaper your room with the end result and are prepared to wait whilst Photoshop Elements creates a massive image. Notice how the curved lines in the image above are slightly crooked due to the fact that these images were shot with a 18mm focal length lens and the lines are very close to the lens. You will probably not encounter any problems with the new Photomerge feature unless you are working with strong lines in the immediate foreground. The camera should ideally be rotated around the nodal point of the lens to avoid something called parallax error.

If the camera is hand-held to capture the component images (you have not used a specialized tripod head designed for professional panoramic stitching work) then the problem of aligning both foreground and distant subject matter is a big problem for any software (Photoshop handles it better than the rest). Now the only limitation you may run up against is PhotoshopвЂ™s ability to align and blend strong geometric lines that come close to the camera lens. All of the flaws and weaknesses of the original feature are now gone with the release of Elements 6.0.

The Photomerge feature in previous versions of Photoshop Elements (and the full version for that matter) left a lot to be desired. The results will now truly be seamless - an excellent way of widening your horizons or turning your humble compact into a 30-megapixel blockbuster. The quality will be even better if you capture the component images of your panorama in vertical format (to reduce the effects of converging verticals) with a 50% overlap and you also use a manual exposure, focus and white balance setting on your camera (or process the images identically in camera Raw). The fully revised Photomerge feature first made its appearance with CS3 but the maths seems to have got even better with the release ofД®lements 6 and the stitching is so clever it will really have you amazed at the quality that can be achieved inside this budget program. Photomerge is now capable of aligning and blending images without any signs of struggle - banding in smooth areas of tone. You get to explore the greatly improved Photomerge features only in Elements 6 and Photoshop CS3. There fully revamped Photomerge now comes in three flavors and is вЂfully fantasticвЂ™. They say that sequels are never as good as the original - try telling that to Adobe.
