How do you make a panoramic view from 3 different photos....

I was wondering if there was an easy way to make a panoramic view from three different photos, they all overlap a little bit..... I have PS Elements 4, is there an easy way to make a nice panoramic view from three shots???

Thanks,

never used PSE, but what you basically have to do is open all 3 files in the same window, and match the photo's over each other, and then crop, very time consuming to get it exactly perfect but very rewarding

there is a option in photoshop cs3 but i think if you google 'stitch' its a stich programme for putting them together and linning everything even includes for distorion

Not sure is Elements has this, but in Photoshop just open the three pictures, then go to "Automate>Photomerge". This will take all of your open files and do an automatic stitching to the most logical points on the photos. In the window that comes up, you will have the ability to do some fine-tuning and alignments to make sure everything lines up fine. It saves some time by doing most of the major alignments so you don't have to spend as much time doing the entire merge by eye.

PTGUI is another such program - not free however. 30 day free trial is available.

IN Psp CS2 and CS3 you can go to File> automate> Photomerge and up comes this dialogue box where you can bring in all your files (say a panorama of images) that can be auto merged OR perspective etc .. try out a few ways that then amazingly merge images together on separate layers using layer masking.
