Is it possible to create Panorammas with PS7?

Thanks,
Wayne

Any imaging editor will allow you to create a panorama. You have to open up each of the photos you want to include in the panorama and put them together in a new image file. All the lining up etc to be done manually.

If the the question is 'Is there a fully automated way to do this in PS7?' then I don't know.

The stripped-down Photoshop Elements has a tool to do it, so I assume the full-featured PS7 does as well. They call it "Photomerge" or something like it. There is also Panotools (google it) that is free and works as a photoshop plugin or standalone, but it has a difficult learning curve.

Panorama Factory is not bad, as well. I have a trial copy which puts a mark in the middle of it - but clone removes it quite easily. :)

I use photoshop elements. ps7 doesn't have an automated panorama creator that I am aware of.

I'm almost 100% sure PS 7 does not have an automated tool. The PanoTools program mentioned above is wonderful if you are very compouter-literate. There is a good GUI front-end for PanoTools that is not free ($40 US last I looked) called PTGUI. This makes use of PanoTools far easier, though still not a breeze. The main advantages of PanoTools is the POWER of this program; it can do multi-row stitching and can output to multi-layered Photoshop (.psd) format, something that is absolutely necessary if you want to tweak color or do other post-processing.
I have also found that PanaVue Image Assembler is very easy to use and produces pretty good results but has alot of power. The main reason I don't use it is that I want to retain a multi-layer image, and PanoTools gives me that.
There is a ton of great information on panorama stitching software at //www.panoguide.com/
