Photoshop Eléments 18 - Photomerge (en cours de tests - démo)

André,

I am just another user like Jeff, but I regularly follow the posts in this forum. That gives me a good idea of what issues may appear with version changes. I also have kept a range of versions (PSE6, 10, 12, 14,15,2018).

I am not a big fan of panos, I use them for the fun and frequently for only 2, 3 or 4  hand-held pictures when I don't have a wide angle lens, never with a correct setup which would imply a tripod and a file overlap of about 30%.

You are not alone in this forum to prefer the older versions, but really, the new version is very good for the scope of Elements users. I have done comparisons and I would never go back to the older version. The most spectacular photomerge I managed to do was from 4 pictures, parts of a painting taken at an angle... nothing that the older versions could manage.

There are better dedicated panorama sofwares, I agree.

In your case, a look at the thumbnails in your photo bin makes me wonder: I would have expected to see easily the 20 - 30% overlap of files. Did you test the photomerge with other selected files?

If the alignment does not fail, you can continue the editing in Expert mode by playing on the layers and masks.

Photomerge doesn't work or you can't find Photomerge?
