Stitch photos and scans manually.

1


Open the first two images.

2


While holding the Shift key, drag one of the opened documents to the other. You should now have two layers.

3


Crop the image so there is a larger working area.

4


Change the blending mode of the top layer and position it over the layer below. The area overlapping the bottom layer should be all black or close to all black.

5

Change the blending mode of the top layer to Normal.

6


Locate the hard edge between the images.

7


Use the Rectangular Marquee tool (M) to make a selection around the edge.

8


Feather the selection with a large radius. If your selection has round edges after feathering, undo (Ctrl+Z) and repeat the Feather Selection tool with a smaller radius.

9


Your image should be stitched now. If required, adjust the exposure using the Levels tool (Ctrl+L) and contrast using the Brightness/Contrast tool (Image> Adjustments> Brightness/Contrast).

10

Locate any blurry or unmatched areas.
 

11


To remove the blurred areas, use the eraser tool with a large diameter and a hardness of 0 to erase around the area. Make sure that you are doing this to the top image.
