Photoshop is very handy tool when you need to stitch several images together. It is also possible to stitch maps from smaller images into one bigger. This is useful when you’re planning trip somewhere and you do not have a paper map. You can create screenshots from OpenStreetMap and stitch them together in Photoshop.
Step 1. Create screenshots of maps and store these files it into directory. Images should overlap. Use PNG format to avoid blur in images.
Windows users can use Snipping tool. Mac users can use Command + F4.

Step 2. Open Photoshop. Go to menu File – Automate – Photomarge

Step 3. Select files Layout – Reposition. Uncheck Blend Images Together. Browse files or folder. Click Ok and wait.

If overlap region of screenshots was sufficient then result image will be ok.

Imagine that you’re developing app on desktop and you want to test it also on mobile devices. It’s quite daunting task to reload all pages and tap on device every time you need refresh. Adobe introduced simple, but powerful solution – Adobe Shadow.
How it works?
Install Adobe Shadow app on you desktop and start it. This will act as bridge between you browser and mobile devices.
Install Adobe Shadow client app on each mobile device and install extension to Google chrome.
Authenticate devices by pass code and start browsing in web browser. It will sync all devices in you WiFi network connected to Shadow. Adobe Shadow will send URL from Google Chrome to all devices and it will keep devices in sync.
This is very handy app for mobile development and testing.
