It doesn't show for me in Bridge CS4 at all, even tried the panorama with only 3 images to see if it was taking to long because of all the images, but no, that still didn't work. How can I get this feature? It would be so much easier seeing the preview there then having to wait and try every option to figure out the best. Thanks, Vic Jay,

Your best bet will probably be to use the Image Stack method mentioned above, manually position the images in the correct location, then select auto blend to blend any edges or mis-registration.

Is there a way to pick the corresponding points and let PS rotate an join them into one image? I have several arial images where the edge of one exactly matches the edge of the next without overlap.

I'd recommend either JPEG or a flattened TIFF and manually import the panorama into iPhoto. Be sure to save a copy of your panorama with all your layers in case you need to someday perform adjustments to the full-resolution, layered panorama. Jay Graham,

Now to your original question. There are a couple of ways you could approach this, though I don't think that Photomerge is the best tool to show the progression of your pregnancy. My first thought is to create a large canvas and tile the progression of your pregnancy (e.g. month 1, 2, 3, 4, etc). You would open each image as a separate layer in PS and arrange them manually to suit your layout. A second idea is to open the images in PS Extended as a layer stack (File>Scripts>Load Files Into Stack) then create a time-lapse video. Look on this site to see if there is a tutorial for creating time-lapse video in PS. If not, you can find one here. http://www.prorgb.com/video-slideshow-in-pscs4 Jay Crystal,

If no layers are selected, most of the options in the Image menu are grayed out. If that doesn't work, please let me know and we'll continue to troubleshoot from there. Jay Graham,

Then, select all the layers in the layers panel and select Auto-Align then select auto-blend. Hopefully, this will force Photoshop to align images correctly. Sandy,

I've tried about everything...such as combining them as 16 bit, merging them as 8 bit, using .DNG files, .PSD files, .TIF files, and .JPG files, to no avail. Once they are merged, these particular tools become disabled. I've tried saving the stitched image, and then opening it into Photoshop CS4 again, but these tools are still not accessible. Is there anyone out there who has had a similar experience?

Is this possible to use when you want to show a progression of a pregnancy with the same person over a nine month span? I'm not sure how to achieve this? I tried with just some regular pics of myself and ps does not really merge the pics at all. I'm assuming because there is no overlap. How can you create an overlap of just one person standing in front of a solid backdrop? Thanks ;) Great demo, thank you for your time!
