Ken I am not familiar with what tools are in Elements 8. In Photoshop there
are a number of different merge options that you can try.
My approach is to use a 35 and shoot vertically. On the M9 I use 30 degree
increments for the shots to be merged.
With Howard Cummer's cooperation, we put some discussion in the LUG Pearls
blog here
http://wiki.leica-users.org/index.php/Panorama_Photography
In the example there I did 12 frames (360 degrees) and this is a crop of
about 4 frames from that.

A couple of newer samples here.
