Photo merge from single picture cropped into three sections?

[dogdays100]

I am trying to build a photo from one snapshot.  It is a group picture of several heads.  When I attempt to merge the three individual photos created from the cropping of the original the merge feature doesn't work for me?  Live in the Forums: Ask an Expert​

So are you trying to rearrange  parts of the image?

Thank you for your help.  This worked.  I appreciate it.

For the merge to work there needs to be significant overlap between the images so Lightroom can figure out where to merge. If there is not enough overlap it won't work.

I read about cropping sufficient overlap in a previous post to the forum.

I tried creating more overlap twice now without success.  Is there

something else I might try?
