I'm new to PSE-3 but I did a few collages a while ago and can't remember how to do them again. I remember just picking all my photos and then clicking on one thing and it automatically did the collage for me. Does anyone know what that auto button is?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi there ...

... and welcome to the forum :)

Ummm ... I really don't know what you were using as there isn't an instant way to do collages.

I wonder if you are thinking of panoramas ... they can be done automatically ??

No this was definitely a collage. Very weird that I can't find it now though. :(

Umm ...

I really can't think what you did ... I have had all the versions of Elements and never come across an instant collage button :confused:

Just found it! It was panoramas. You can make a great collage using it. Thank you for all your help.

Shari ...

Its making panorams ... where you take several shots of a scene then stitch the images together to make one large image.

Its not a collage where you add several photos to a background image :)

Hi ....

I have been experimenting with this, I tried opening 4 individual images the going into Photomerge.

Its expecting overlapping photos so that it can stitch them together, when it finds no overlap it lets you do it manually ... so you can place the images on the workspace. It you then click OK it tries to blend them together and flattens the image ...

Photomerge isn't designed to blend images this one so it makes a pretty poor job of it ... I tried it out in PSE4 too and that works the same as PSE3.
