The Photomerge Compose feature enables you to replace portions of an image. For example, can select a person from one photo and add the selection to another photograph. You need two images - a source and a destination. You can select an area, crop it from the source image, and then paste it into the destination image, and then adjust it for proportionality and color for the most natural outcome.
-
The portion selected in the previous step is pasted on the image that you want to move the selection to. Use the mouse to move the selection around, and drag the coach marks to resize it to ensure that the pasted content is in proportion with the rest of the photo.
Click Next.
Note: You can also hide/reveal portions of the selection using the available brushes.
Resize the pasted content to ensure that it is in proportion with the rest of the image. -
Now adjust the tonal and color values of the pasted content to ensure that it matches with the rest of the image. Try to get the most natural selection possible. To perform this in one step automatically, click Auto Match Color Tone.
Apply color correction to match the tonal and color characteristics of both images -

Use Photomerge Exposure to efficiently handle scenes in photos with exposure challenges. You can blend two photos together to get a perfectly exposed photo. For example, if you have a photo with a window in the background and you want a perfect photo with the following properties:
A good exposure of the scenery outside the window.
A good exposure of the darker objects inside the room.
In such a scenario, you often end up with either overexposed scenery outside the window or underexposed objects inside the room.
To ensure that you get a perfect photo, do the following:
Take two or more photos of the same scene with different exposures. For best results, take the photos at different exposure value, with minimum shake. For example:
You can take two or more photos with the flash turned on to properly expose the subject (the objects inside the room).
You can then take one photo with the flash turned off to properly expose the background (the scenery outside the window).
Tip: You can use Exposure Bracketing in your camera to capture the same subject with a number of shots with different exposure settings.
Blend the photos to create a perfectly exposed photo.
Photomerge Exposure facilitates blending the two photos together to get a perfectly exposed photo.
Opomba:
To obtain best results while using the Automatic mode, use photos that are shot at different exposure values, using Exposure Bracketing. To obtain best results while using the manual mode, use photos shot with flash turned on and flash turned off.

You can select the required photos from Elements Organizer, and select and deselect the photos through the Photo Bin.
-
- In Elements Organizer, select a minimum of two and a maximum of ten photos, and in the Guided room, choose Photomerge > Photomerge Exposure.

Select exposed regions from the source image:
- Click Pencil Tool and use the mouse to paint exposed regions of the source image. Change the source photo, and select regions from this photo if necessary.
- Click Eraser Tool and use the mouse to paint over any regions you have chosen to expose - this action will deselect regions selected by the Pencil Tool.
-
Additionally:
- Change the transparency of these selected regions to blend them properly with the background by using the Opacity Slider.
- Select Edge Blending to smoothen the blended edges.
Opomba:
Opacity Slider affects only those regions that are selected from the currently displayed source image. Change to a different source image if you want to change the transparency of the regions selected from the other images. It remembers the value used for a particular image.

Use the Photomerge Panorama Guided Effect to stitch multiple pictures together. The pictures must have common, overlapping regions from the scene photographed for the stitching process to work best.

Opomba:
For more tips on creating awesome panoramas, see Creating Photomerge Panoramas.
-
In the Photomerge Panorama panel, from the Panorama Settings area, choose the pan motion / layout settings for your images. Click the triangle to see the options available.
Auto Panorama
Analyzes the source images and applies either a Perspective or Cylindrical layout, depending on which produces a better photomerge.
Perspective
Creates a consistent composition by designating one of the source images (by default, the middle image) as the reference image. The other images are then transformed (repositioned, stretched, or skewed as necessary) so that overlapping content layer is matched.
Cylindrical
Reduces the “bow-tie” distortion that can occur with the Perspective layout by displaying individual images as on an unfolded cylinder. Overlapping content is still matched. The reference image is placed at the center. This is best suited for creating wide panoramas.
Spherical
Aligns and transforms the images as if they were for mapping the inside a sphere. If you have taken a set of images that cover 360 degrees, use this for 360 degree panoramas. You might also use Spherical to produce nice panoramic results with other file sets.
-
Blend Images Together
Finds the optimal borders between the images and creates seams based on those borders, and to color match the images. With Blend Images Together turned off, a simple rectangular blend is performed. This may be preferable if you intend to retouch the blending masks by hand.
