# Use Photomerge Group Shot

Use Photomerge Group Shot to create the perfect group photo from multiple photos.

Note: For best results, the multiple images used to create Photomerge Group Shot should be from the same photo session.

1. Open two to 10 group shots you want to use as source images for the Photomerge Group Shot.
2. Choose File > New > Photomerge Group Shot.
3. Choose the best group shot of the multiple source files and drag it from the Project Bin to the Final window.
4. Click other photos in the Project Bin (color-coded to help you keep track) and use the Pencil tool to draw a line over the areas that you would like to merge into the final photo. To fine-tune the final image, use the Pencil tool to add additional content or the Eraser tool to remove content.
5. Set any of the following:
   Show Strokes
     Click this to show your Pencil strokes in the source image.

   Show Regions
     Click this to reveal the selected regions in the final image.

   Advanced Options
     Expand or collapse this arrow for Advanced Options.

   Alignment Tool
     To correct the alignment of the multiple photos, click the Alignment Tool, place three markers in the source image and three markers in the final image, then click Align Photos.

   Pixel Blending
     Click this to blend pixels.

6. Click Reset to start the process over, Done to complete the Photomerge Group Shot, or Cancel to close Photomerge Group Shot.
