Can You Merge Photos in Photoshop?

Last updated on November 22, 2022 @ 2:18 pm

You can use the Photomerge command in Adobe Photoshop to stitch together multiple images that overlap to create a panorama. This is useful if you want to create a wide-angle, 360-degree image from multiple photographs that you took while standing in one spot.

To merge photos in Photoshop:

    1. In Photoshop, choose File > Automate > Photomerge.
    2. In the Photomerge dialog box, do one of the following:

  • To automatically select all images in a folder, click Browse,
  • and then double-click the folder that contains the images.

To select individual images,
click Choose Files, and then double-click the images that you want to use.

3. Under “Layout”, do one of the following:

  • (Default) Auto: Applies auto-alignment to your images and automatically detects whether your image has a panoramic aspect ratio. Auto works well for most panoramas. If you have problems with color fringing or if your image doesn’t seem to be stitching correctly, try one of the other layout methods.

  • “Reposition”: Overlays your images without performing any automatic alignment. You can move, rotate, and scale your images manually until they line up perfectly. This option is useful for correcting issues with auto-alignment or for creating effect collages from photos (for example, two photos side by side).

    Note: If you have a lot of images, “Reposition” can take longer to stitch together your panorama than “Auto. ”

  • “Cylindrical”: Stitches your photos together using a cylindrical projection. This projection is useful for creating cylindrical panoramas—those that wrap around you in a circle (360 degrees horizontally but not vertically). Cylindrical projection can also reduce some types of color fringing. Note: When using “Cylindrical,” all photos must be approximately the same distance from the camera lens when they were taken (within about 15 degrees), or some parts of your panorama might appear distorted or might not appear in your final image at all.

The Photomerge command is a powerful tool that can help you create some amazing panoramic shots. It’s important to understand how it works and what options are available to get the best results.
