Group Shot is a photo combining program developed by Microsoft Research. Its purpose is to solve the problem of individuals in group photographs that might be doing undesirable things such as looking elsewhere, closing their eyes, not smiling, etc. The principle of Group Shot is that multiple group photographs will be taken in each session. Multiple images from a session are loaded into the application, and then the user selects the best parts from all of the different photos and merges them into one. The software is in development.

It was announced at Bill Gates' keynote at the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show. The software will be available as part of Windows Ultimate Extras. For a time, the software was available to download for Windows XP users [ [http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/winvista_ultimate_extras.asp Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows: Windows Ultimate Extras Review ] ] , however it was later removed from the Microsoft Research website. Microsoft Research stated that the beta period has expired.

A similar feature is available in Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 under the name 'Photomerge Group Shot'. [ [http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PhotoshopElements/6.0/help.html?content=WSA387CD2E-7ABB-4c2c-9ECD-32345BAC491F.html Adobe documentation] ] Essentially the same functionality is also available in Adobe Photoshop CS3's Photomerge, though not packaged as a separate feature.
