| 1. | With the Photomerge Group Shot tool you can pick and choose the best parts of several similar photos, and merge them together to form one perfect picture. |
| 2. | The Photomerge Scene Cleaner helps you improve a photo by removing passing cars, tourists, and other unwanted elements. The Scene Cleaner works best when you have several shots of the same scene, so that you can combine the unobstructed areas from each source picture to produce a photograph free of traffic and tourists. |
| 3. | Photoshop Elements is waiting for you to confirm the transformation by clicking the Commit button, or by double-clicking inside the transformation boundary. |
| 4. | Photomerge Exposure detects whether your source photos were taken with exposure bracketing or with and without flash and defaults to Automatic or Manual mode accordingly. Manual mode works better for source files taken with flash/no flash. |
| 5. | A fringe is the annoying halo of color that often surrounds a selection pasted into another image. When the copied area is pasted onto another background color, or the selected background is deleted, pixels of the original background color show around the edges of your selection. The Defringe Layer command (Enhance > Adjust Color > Defringe Layer) blends the halo away so you won’t see an artificial-looking edge. |
| 6. | The Photomerge Faces and Photomerge Style Match tools are not treated in this lesson. Photomerge Faces works similarly to the Photomerge Group Shot tool, except that it’s specialized for working with faces. The Photomerge Style Match tool lets you merge the developing style—the tone and color settings—from one image to another. |
