In June, I shared a method of easily stitching together multiple photos to generate a panorama using two new features in Adobe Photoshop CS3; Auto-Align and Auto-Blend.

There is a much more simpler way to do this thanks to Morris Ginberg who commented on the post and suggested using the updated Photomerge feature. It seems using Photomerge in Photoshop CS3 does the exact same thing as using Auto-Align and Auto-Blend, but does it all for you in one step.

At the Creative License Tour, one of the presenters demonstrated to us how two new features in Photoshop CS3 allowed him to take 3 photographs he took on the side of the road and stitch it into a larger photograph. In this post, I explain how to use these two new features; Auto-Align and Auto-Blend, on your photographs and achieve jaw-dropping results.

In my last post about superimposing with Photoshop, I mentioned that I would create a secondary tutorial on how to superimpose the ‘extra features’ which would make your doctored image look even more believable.

Inside, I cover techniques such as giving yourself an instant beard with the clone stamp tool, adding some eyeshadow, and replacing text.

Here’s a neat tip from yours truly on my method of superimposing. This post specifically covers superimposing your face on top of another, but it lays out the basics of superimposing virtually anything you can imagine as the sky is the limit when working with Photoshop.

I purchased a Griffin PowerMate a while back and am just starting to realize this device’s potential. When I first got it, I didn’t apply any custom settings because I didn’t know how much use it could be to me other than adjust volume or scroll a document. I knew it was great for jogging through a video while editing which is the primary reason I bought it, but I haven’t gotten around to using it for that purpose yet. Then yesterday in Photoshop I thought, “Wouldn’t it be great if I could use the PowerMate to increase/decrease the brush size with a few rotations?”
