Using the Interactive Layout Feature in Photoshop

Hi, this is Jimmy Harman, on behalf of Expert Village. And in this clip we'll be finalizing our tutorial on creating panoramic images with Adobe Photoshop. The other option that I talked to you about, was the interactive layout mode for your panorama. So lets go ahead and close this down. I'm not going to save these changes since I don't need to. We'll go back to our photo merge option here and automate, photo merge. I'll add my open files again. And this time I'm going to select interactive layout. And click ok. And Photoshop will pop up with this enormous window. Ok, resize the window down a bit. Now, you've got your entire merged photo over here. As you can see. But you can click on each individual section here. And kind of move them around here if you ever had to. Now you've got this option called snap to image. Which is a good idea to leave checked. It will allow Photoshop to examine the edge detail here and try to snap these images together when you place them. So then come over here, and you see it turns into a transparency. Find your edges, and we're going to go ahead bring it up as close as we can, let go. And you can see it automatically snaps into place. Do the same over here. Align the mountains and the contours. Snaps into place. And the same with this last photograph. So that just lets you do a little bit of fine tuning if Photoshop?s not doing it quite right. If it keeps snapping and its not snapping correctly you can un-check snap to image. And then you can go ahead and move your photo around whatever you do it will try to blend it and make everything work. Generally though snap to image does a pretty good job. When you apply this filter here, this photo merge filter here, let me go ahead and rearrange this. It will now automatically blend the colors and give you the same panoramic image which we had before. Which you can crop and you've got your panoramic.
