http://www.creativepro.com/article/auto-stitch-with-photoshop-cs3 has a tutorial that I think I could follow except it says "You could also use a script to open the images and place them into a single layered document" but doesn't say how do do that. I can't find anything about the script, nor can I figure out how to get one jpg into a layer in another document. I've been using Fireworks as that's easier, but I've had people tell me I should be using Photoshop to do it. Help!!!??

Also I think that is an old tutorial written when CS3 was in beta. I would suggest you try the Photomerge that shipped with CS3. It does the stacking for you and gives the same results as stacking and aligning.

And if you have CS4, Photomerge's layer blending as been improved.

I'll try both suggestions when I get back to work on Thursday, and let you know. Thanks.

Thanks - both tips worked, and I can see a reason for using the two different ways depending on my post editing needs. It did take me some searching through the help files to find that PhotoMerge in the PC version of CS3 is found in the Bridge program (under tools).

I'm not sure if I'll be able to click Answered after posting this, to show a "best answer" and if I can choose two best answers, but just in case, both tips are "best answer".
