Panorama
![Page 3: Panoramas & Joiners in PhotoShop](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568160b6550346895dcfda78/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Open all the composite images simultaneously in Photoshop
These are the images I took to create the panorama…

Go to ‘file’ > ‘Automate’ > ‘Photomerge’
Leaving setting on ‘auto’, click to add open files then click OK.
Photoshop will do it’s thing… give it time, it’s got a lot to do.

The completed panorama which can then be cropped to straighten the edges

Save as a psd file (photoshop) which will retain all your layers,but you may also need to make the file smaller and save as a jpeg to make it more accessible to import into other programs.

Something like a railing in the foreground can create an interesting effect!

Let’s try another one.
Here are the composite images used.
Note: These were alltaken in portrait format(taller than wide).

Trying to follow the line of a feature can cause the edge to bow
Plus, note the tone difference in some parts of the finished image – these can be corrected…

With all your layers selected, go to ‘Edit’ > ‘Auto-blend layers’

Select panorama

As before, you’ll have to wait for PhotoShop to do it’s thing…

Before blending above After blending below

You can of course always try tweaking the individual layers manually.

Joiner
![Page 19: Panoramas & Joiners in PhotoShop](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/568160b6550346895dcfda78/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Open all the composite images simultaneously in Photoshop, like with the panoramas
These are the images I took to create the joiner…

Leaving setting on ‘auto’, click to add open files then click OK.
Photoshop will do it’s thing…
Warning!Depending on how many images you have, this process could take some time, so please be patient.This one took over an hour!

Of course I could go through the auto-blend routine, but I like the way this looks like a real joiner, done the traditional way.
