Photomerge

Hi,

I,ve just started trying to create some panorama shots in Elements using the guided option with limited success.I shot some photos in portrait mode and got them into the photo bin .Clicked on "create panorama as it said.A window popped up whish said "Documents must be saved before Photomerge" .Tried 2 or 3 times with the same message.Managed it eventually by taking one of the photos out.

These photos were taken on a Canon 7d with a 10-18mm lens.Any clues as to what might be the problem?Many thanks

    Any editing operation whatsoever (cropping, adjusting, sharpening, etc) once you have the photos in Editor will cause that message to pop up.

    Select the JPG version of all the photos you want to merge in Organizer, click Editor, then Guided, Photomerge. Do NOT do anything else in between. I can vouch its not anything to do with the 7D format.

    You may want to post your Forum inquiry to Photoshop Elements​ rather than Photoshop.

    A bit of advice: when taking the photographs, be sure to overlap each exposure of the scene by 1/4  to 1/3, and landscape mode is usually more successful.

    I usually start by selecting the thumbnails in Organizer and from the menu use:

    File >> Export As New

    Choosing jpeg I set dimensions to 3000 x 2000 which I find sufficient for most pano’s. You can also set the quality before starting the export to a named folder.

    Use the saved copies in the photomerge dialog. Saving before commencing the photomerge when using photos in portrait orientation fixes the pixels whereas the original unedited photos only have a camera marker to indicate orientation.
