I’m using Photoshop 6 and want to use it to join together three photos to create a panoramic shot. I’m relatively new to Photoshop so I don’t know how to go about accomplishing that. Any help you could provide would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Create a new document that’s comfortably bigger than the finished panorama, then drag each picture to it in turn. You did leave some overlap between pictures, didn’t you? For each pair, lower the opacity of the top one so you can see details in both as you fit them together. Then change the opacity back to 100%. An alternative method is to change the upper image’s mode to Exclusion. The overlap area will turn black when you’ve perfectly aligned the images.

There’s bound to be some mis-alignment. Use layer masks to blend the images together, with soft edges in blank areas like skies and carefully making hard transitions around solid objects.

Flatten the file and crop to your final shape.

For a more controlled way of working, Photoshop CS has a Photomerge command. For even more perfect panoramas, check out the the shareware that uses Prof. Helmut Dersch’s Panorama Tools. Here’s an intro: http://www.caldwellphotographic.com/Mosaics.html

Print them all out, cut them as necessary and cellotape together in preferred order .. there you have it.

Hey, Tom. Thanks for the help. Whenever I drag a picture into the new image from my desktop, it just opens up as a new window, but doesn’t appear in the new image. Am I doing it wrong? Thanks for any additional guidance you can provide.

Best solution is to use a stitching program. I recommend Panotools with the Max Lyon PTAssembler GUI.

Don’t drag it from the desktop, drag it from the window of an already opened image, using the ‘move’ tool to do it. Read the manual or help file if you don’t know this tool.
