Creating a Triptych

I had taken a series of similar images and wanted to use three of them to form a triptych. I was quickly able to find out how to do it, using this video at Adobe TV.


Procedure

Open the three images in Photoshop; they will each have their own tab. Drag and drop two of the images onto the third image. They will now form a single image, in three layers.

Hold shift key and using the move tool, slide one image to the left, and one image to the right, until they 'click' into place (although they will be out of view at this time).

Image menu - - - > reveal all. This will show all three images next to each other. You can then adjust the spacing between each image so they aren't touching, then reveal all again.

Using the crop tool, make the canvas larger on all four sides to create a transparent 'border'.

Layer menu - - - > new. Select this layer and fill it with a colour of your choice. This creates a solid border around and between the triptych.

Layer menu - - - > flatten image.
