Years ago, I had a very good program which I think
was called Paintbrush. One of the things I could do with it was to open a new blank file in JPG format.

I could then paste images into it. Very good for
manually making panoramic shots without the
need for a specific program for making panoramas.

You could simply line the individual photographs up
in the new (blank) image until they overlapped
correctly.

Is there a facility in Photoshop which allows this to
be done, failing which can anyone recommend another
application.

Yes. Photoshop has Photomerge which does this. There are also other programs, perhaps better ones, available as well. Google around.

File > New will bring up what you require.

Since this method of stitching is "years old" you may like to use File > Automate > Photomerge this even joins the required images.

or find another dedicated Auto stitching program like

What he said was "One of the things I could do with it was to open a new blank file in JPG format." That makes no sense to me. Jpeg is a compression standard. If it’s open it’s not compressed, right?

A lot of people don’t realize that what you see on the screen is really a bitmap. In other words, a file of whatever format must be read into memory and converted by whatever is needed for that specific format into an array of pixel data which then, and only then, can be displayed. In the case of bmp or tiff files, for instance, no conversion need be made. In the case of jpg or gif, for instance, the data in the file must be decompressed before it can be displayed.

Thanks for that info. My copy which is version 7.00
doesn’t have Photomerge – or at least
I can’t find it, so I’ll get a newer version.

There is at least one free program, which the other poster supplied a link to.

Yep and you save it in what ever compressed file type you require.
