Diptychs originally were any 2 flat carved or painted panels attached at a hinge. This has been modified in recent times to encompass photography such that a diptych is two photos that fit together and are better than when apart. More than 2 photos can be added for example a triptych is 3 photos.

The purpose of many photographs is to tell a story. Diptychs, triptychs and n-tychs are great for photographic story-telling. I had previously used a tych of surfer Courtney Conlogue winning her semi final in the Beachley Classic at Dee Why beach.

Tych Panel v2 by Reimond Trost is a great Photoshop Panel for the creation of diptychs, triptychs and ntychs. It is basically an automation tool for Photoshop, and it is free, and is available at: lumens.se/tychpanel
