271345 2004-09-11 22:47:00 You can use something like Panorama factory, which merges 2 photos into 1 (like a panoramic scene).

BUT it isnt free. It's shareware.

You coiuld go here http://www.download.com and search for panorama

271346 2004-09-11 23:48:00 Open Elements Choose File > Create Photomerge. Then click Browse and navigate to the folder that contains photos to be merged. Open the folder and select the image files. Click Open to add the images to the Source Files list in the Photomerge dialog box.
When the images are added to the Photomerge dialog box, click OK.

271347 2004-09-12 03:12:00 I use Photoshop. Open one image up. You can increase the canvas size or just use the crop tool and choose the whole photo then u can drag the sides larger .... thus creating a larger canvas...

then open the 2nd image. select all and copy.

go to the 1st image and paste, u can use the arrow selector dragging tool to match it onto the other image thus stitch.. try to zoom in so u see it right like .. u also play around with the color controls so the two images blend in .. after u can crop the photo so the sides are taken out .. u may have some white sides of the extra space.. flatten image and SAVE AS.

271348 2004-09-12 03:32:00 I find that it is better to open the images you want to merge in Elements first and carry out whatever editing you need to do like croping, matching the hue of the images, etc. When you go to File > Photomerge the open files will be in there ready and waiting.

And yes, somtimes a simple copy and paste works better depending on what you are trying to achieve.

271349 2004-09-12 13:32:00 Hello Sherilee,

Have a look at this freeware utility homepage.ntlworld.com (aptly called merge) it's only function is to merge two source pictures together.

It does it simply and very well.
