Hi!!! I have downloaded PS C6 free trial to to try it for a couple of days and see if it works for me. But the photomerge option does not work for more than 17 photos. Is it a problem with the trial version (does not allaw more photos) or is something else going on? Thank you very much!!

Photoshop has many limit all applications have them.   One I think you may be running into  is Photoshop Canvas size.  The Canvas  maximum width and heights are 30,000 pixels. My Canon 1D Mk IV is a 16 MP camera in portrait mode its image size is 3264 px x 4896 px.  You should have around 40% overlap when stitching images.  60% of 3264 is a width of  1958.  I was a junior in high school in 1958  the fifty music was in full swing.  Anyway I do not think I could do 17 images for 17 times 1958 = 33,293  Pixels.  The Canvas width would exceed Photoshop canvas size limit.  You would need a Application specialized for stitching huge panoramas.

What happends when you try more that 17 Images? Photoshop has a 30,000 pixel width canvas size limit.

When finished, the work just disappears. That is why I want to know if there is a limit in the trial or is something else happending. I do not want to know before getting the license.

Hi

Why download a trial version on an unsupported version of Photoshop, the most recent version is 2020.

Adobe do not provide links to older versions of Photoshop so be careful where you download it from.

Hi!, It is not C6, is the trial version of the official page. I was wrong to put that number, I am very sorry. Could you please, help me with my problem?

There is no CS6 trial. CS6 was 2013 software and is way past end of life and no longer sold or supported by Adobe.

Anyone offering you CS6 is selling pirated software.
