Creating panorama photos

[woodpecker]

I am using Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7. I cannot get the photos to be next to each other, each photo I place in the program''s title bar or black editor overrides the previous one, so I am not able to create the panoramic photo that I want. What could I be doing wrong.

You need to start with a new file in XP&GD 7 and import (Ctrl+Alt+I) the photos you want to use in your panorama.

Also sounds like you've opened the image in a photo document rather than a print/website document.

Try File > New > A4 Portrait. Then try Bob's suggestion above, you will be able to import multiple images in that document.

OK I got 3 photos lined up but when I click on PHOTO/CREATE PANORAMA I get a pop up that says find out more and it directs me to another Magix software for doing upgraded panorama. Is version 7 made to do panorama photos.

according to the list you need the pro version to do that without upgrade [pretty certain that applies to version 7 as well]

@woodpecker you have to select all the photos in P&GD7 for this to work, or you will get the popup you only have to upgrade for an unlimited number of images.
3 or 4 is the limit I think in P&GD7.

I've been working long enough in this area and use the RonyaSoft Poster Printer

Woodpecker, I had a very similar problem. Once I figured how to get the photos lined up, I still couldn't get the panorama feature to work. When I tried to select the three photos I was using, selecting one would unselect the other and I'd get that error message that you got. Finally, I found that I could go into Edit and choose Select All. That did it. After selecting all, I hit the panorama button again and this time it worked perfectly!
