helo... i'm still a newbie in digital photography. i was browsing thru DPC and i reached this page where the discussion touched on the "three panel photography". the guy also posted a link of another site featuring his work in another digital photo contest. can someone tell me the term/name of the "three panel" technique? i would also appreciate it if you guys can recommend some sites that feature that method.
thanks a lot |

It is called Monochromatic Triptych
Here is a discussion about it along with a few links:

I did something similar. I placed 4 photos together. I did it by opening a new canvas and then I cut and pasted the photos into it. Is there a better way? Is there a way to line them up exactly? I did it by eye and now see that it is off. Here is the pic

I did it with three, with a canvas that I worked out was the right size for the 3, with internal borders, and used the layer aligns in photoshop to align left, align right and align center - once all the images were in place, I made the larger and finished the shot. You could go through a similar process to put together a 4 frame shot too and build it up.
Here's how it looked |

| Both of these are awesome although Terry's is not what I would call monochromatic. I still think this would make an awesome challenge even if it was only a members challenge. What a super way to bring across a thought or idea. |

You could increase the canvas size of all 4 pics to the final canvas size, but for each one work out exactly how much to increase by on each side. Then, when you paste them all together they will be perfectly aligned. I've never tried it, so it might not be quite that simple, but that's how I'd go about it. |

Newer versions of Photoshop allow you to drag non-printing guides onto the image to help with alignment. You may have to use the "Show Rulers" command first.
I would crop/size all of the source photos to the same height (in pixels), and create a new file the same height. If you select the blank canvas with the magic wand, you can use "Paste Into" to drop in the photos; they should end up aligned vertically. Then increase the canvas size to create the borders.
It's a triptych when it has three panels; color scheme is irrelevant.
