Photomerge
Put the computer and Elements to work to do a 5 photograph panorama. Assembled fairly quickly — didn't bother to time it but fast enough. The first image below is the rough panorama immediately after it is assembled.
1. The combination of the 5 photographs produces the 5 layers and ragged edges.
2. Having taken the five from left to right using the panorama assist setting in the camera, I had no idea where I would finish the 5th photo. Picked up some of the car, the wiper blade. Elements to the rescur.
3. Copied a section of the sage brush above the wiper and placed it over the distraction. This is a good way of doing large area of random pattern since the copied area can be distorted to have it appear closer to the camera.
4. Gee, this is a big image. Nearly 10,000 pixels wide and a 43.9 megapixels!
The Finished Panorama
CD/DVD Label
In Elements 6, there are not many CD/DVD labels from which to select. Well, I make my own anyway. I have a template of disc labels that can be purchased. The most difficult part was aligning the margins for printing on the label. Best to have a part of the document with the print area stroked with a color and the photo/image area blank to save ink. Make a trial print and adjust as necessary. My CD/DVD label.
PDF Slideshow
Did not make a huge slideshow. Yes, the files get very large. While it is very simple, I did go through a number of the steps. While in the process of setting up some zooming, Organizer crashed and I lost that particular work. I didn't attempt again for fear that it might happen again.
Hmmm, I thought this would be an automatic starting slideshow. Nope, you have to click once on the opening photograph and then click on those following.
