ABSTRACT

Photomerge in action >> In this example two separate pictures were joined using Photomerge and the result dodged and burnt before being toned using the Hue and Saturation control.

When Adobe Photoshop Elements was fi rst released one of the real bonuses of the program was the inclusion of the Photomerge technology. Designed to stitch together a series of overlapping images to form a wide vista print this feature really sets hearts racing amongst those of us with a secret passion for panoramas. There is just something about

a long thin photograph that screams special to me. I have often dreamt of owning a camera

capable of capturing such beauties, but alas the bank balance always seems to be missing the

required amount that would be needed to make such a purchase.
