Choose Layer > Flatten Image.

Crop the image to a clean rectangular shape using the Crop
tool (C). You may need to fill in some additional areas of the
image if there are holes in the panorama. If so, you could use
the Clone Stamp and Content-Aware Fill options, which you'll
learn about in Chapter 11, “Repairing and Improving Photos.”
Be sure to check out the file Ch08_Pano_Complete.psd to see how
the image was further enhanced with adjustment layers.
The technology that powers the Photomerge command can also be
harnessed to stitch together nonpanoramic shots or scans that take
multiple images to capture a larger print. The Auto-Align Layers
command is a useful way to stitch together multiple shots or scans
of a large object or a group photo. The command is very easy to
use and produces impressive results.
