TIPS
Did You Know?
Each layout option in the Photomerge dialog box
(step 5) aligns the merged images in different ways.
Auto applies either a Perspective, Cylindrical, or
Spherical layout based on the overall content.
Perspective uses one image as a reference and
adjusts the perspective of the others by overlapping
the content of the reference image. Cylindrical
reduces the bowed shape that can occur in some
merged photos, and Spherical has the opposite
effect. Collage and Reposition help Photoshop align
uneven images.
More Options!
Select Vignette Removal ( changes to ) if your
images have darkened edges caused by a particular
lens. Select Geometric Distortion Correction
( changes to ) to compensate for barrel or
other lens distortions.
Change It!
You can add more files to the merge by clicking the
Browse button again in the Photomerge dialog box,
and navigating to the new source files to be added.
You can remove a file from the list by selecting the file
and clicking Remove.
