Creating slide shows
About slide shows
Slide shows are a fun way to share photos. And because Photoshop Elements, saves your slides as PDFs, you can be

Stitching together panoramas
Creating Photomerge panoramas
The Photomerge Panorama command combines several photographs into one continuous image. For example, you
can take five overlapping photographs of a city skyline, and assemble them into a panorama. The Photomerge
Panorama command can tile photos horizontally as well as vertically.
When you set up a Photomerge panorama composition, you identify the files you want to merge (called your source
files), and then Photoshop
Elements automatically assembles them into a single panorama. After the panorama is
complete, you can still make changes to the placement of the individual photos, if necessary.
Creating a Photomerge panorama
Your source photographs play a large role in panoramic compositions. To avoid problems, follow these guidelines
when taking pictures for use with Photomerge Panorama:
Overlap images sufficiently Images should overlap approximately 15% to 40%. If the overlap is less, Photomerge
Panorama may not be able to automatically assemble the panorama. If images overlap by 50% or more, it can be
difficult to work with them, and blending may not be as effective.
Use a consistent focal length Avoid using the zoom feature of your camera while taking your pictures.
