When you’ve added all the source files, click OK to create the Photomerge panorama composition. The source files open automatically and are processed. If the composition can’t be automatically assembled, a message appears on‑screen. You can assemble the composition manually in the Photomerge dialog box by dragging photos from the lightbox into the work area, and assembling them there manually. After the new panorama image appears in the Photomerge dialog box, you can work with individual source files and change your view of the work area. If you need to rearrange the order of the images, drag an image in the work area to reposition it, or rearrange the images in the light box. (If necessary, deselect Snap To Image to arrange the images where you want.) If necessary, adjust the vanishing point or blending settings of your composition. Click OK to generate the panorama as a new file. Print one copy for notebook, do Photo Journal and show in class 11/12.
