I just got a look at the new photomerge feature in PS CS.

Wow.

It isn’t doing anything you couldn’t do before, but the time it saves is amazing. I had 3 pics open, landscape photos where a friend had just taken a snapshot, turned about 35 degress, taken another, turned again, etc. of a green valley. PS thought about it for about 30 seconds and popped up a screen that had all 3 photos merged exactly where they should be, overlapping as needed. All I did was open the 3 and go to photomerge.

Very impressive. I’ll need to adjust the lighting on the originals to equalize them a bit before I have a really nice panorama, but that’s the next new feature I’m hoping to test out. Sadly I don’t think I’ll be able to talk my manager into shelling out for the upgrade (have to do Illy and ID first, even those will be a tough sell) but playing with my buddy’s pc has really got me fired up about it.

It does a hell of a lot more than many users could do before.

Stop that! I won’t be getting my upgrade until at least Christmas. :(.

I guess that the suggested procedure would be to match colours, then go to Photomerge… bam, a perfect panorama in a few seconds…
Wait, I should add crop and straighten…
The hardest part will be to drop the pictures on the scanner in the good direction… (just to tease Tina 😉 )

What am I missing? Just received and installed Photoshop 7.0 and was hoping to locate "photomerge" as easily as when I was using Elements-2. I cannot find how to do photomerge in PS7.0. What am I missing?

Thanks,

Mike

You’re missing one of Photoshop CS’s new features. It’s not in PS 7.0.

………. however, as you have only just bought PS7, you should be entitled to the free update to Photoshop CS. Just give their Customer Support number a ring.

Mike,

As it sounds as though you have both PS7 and PE2, here’s info I put together on how to transfer the Photomerge plug-in to PS7: <http://www.jazzdiver.com/photoshop/photomerge.htm>

Perhaps that will tide you over until you go for PS CS.

I don’t have Photoshop CS, and won’t for some time (long story). However, last week in a demo of Photoshop CS, they showed how Photomerge. It was of course clever. I’d be interested in knowing how it could be misused, to create unexpected effects–say, stitch together dissimilar pictures. Would you get abstract effects as the images morph?
