Creating panoramas with iPhoto (v6)

Is is possible to stitch photos together? I have looked in the help feature, but it gives me no articles of help.

Nope.
You'll need an external editor, such as Photoshop Elements.

I followed your directions and closed all open files including "spySweeper" and "Norton". I went to "run" and entered %appdata% and
deleted "Adobe" NOTE: there was another file titled AdobeUM which I did not delete. I opened Adobe Elements and went to File->New
->Photomerge Panorama and immediately
got
Error 1: Unable to create Window
-Internal error.
Line: 364
-> var w = new Window(res);
I tried this several times from both the edit screen and the screen that shows the individual images and always got the same results

I have tried your suggested solution several times and it does not work......fortunately I have found another product that does work
and have moved on to it. I would like to know what is causing the problem particularly since a "lot" of other users are reporting
the same problem on the Internet.

Hello John,
Thank you for contacting Adobe® Web Support for assistance with Adobe
Photoshop® Elements 7.0.
I received your images and was able to reproduce your problem on my
machine several times and also triggered the same error even after
resaving the images using the "Save for Web" function.
Interestingly, after deleting the program's preferences, I was able to
use Photomerge successfully on your images and could not reproduce the
error.
Try the following and see if these steps fix the issue for you as well:
1. Close all open programs.
2. Click on Start > Run.
3. In the run dialog field, type: "%appdata%" [without the quotes].
4. Delete the Adobe folder shown there (this will delete all Adobe
software preferences and settings).
5. Close the window.
6. Launch Photoshop Elements Editor and try using the Photomerge command
on your images again.
The files are being forwarded to our engineers to see if they can
isolate why these images may corrupt or damage Photoshop Elements'
preferences and settings.
I hope this information helps to resolve your issue. If you require
further assistance with this issue, please update your web case with
complete details, including what steps you have applied and any error
messages you are receiving.

I understand that even after using “Save For Web” that you got the same

I can't believe with as many people as are having this problem that Adobe had not developed a solution and released it as a "bug" fi
x. I see that it is also a problem for people using Elements 8 and I can not imagine that is a very good endorsement for your new p

Hello John,
Thank you for contacting Adobe® Web Support for assistance with Adobe
Photoshop® Elements 7.0.
I understand that when you attempt to use the Photomerge feature in
Photoshop Elements that you immediately get the errors:
Error 1: Unable to create Window
- OS error:[1400]
Line: 364
-> var w = new Window(res);
We have seen customer reports of this error and have the matter under
investigation.
Currently, it has been determined to be image specific and isolated to
problems processing the metadata in some images.
Our software engineers have been unable to isolate the exact issue with
these problematic images' metadata and have requested that people who
have images exhibiting this behavior be asked to upload them via the
Adobe Support Portal so that they can be examined.
Fortunately, we also do have a potential workaround that may allow you
to merge your images.
Try the following:
1. Open your images in Photoshop Elements Editor.
2. Save each one using the "Save for Web" command available in the File
menu in JPG format with the quality set to "High".
[This will remove all metadata from the images]
3. Close Photoshop Elements Editor and all open images.
4. Open the images that you just removed the metadata from using "Save
for Web" and use Photomerge on them.
I hope this information helps to resolve your issue. If you require
further assistance with this issue, please update your web case with

Hello John,
Thank you for contacting Adobe® Web Support for assistance with Adobe
Photoshop® Elements 7.0.
I understand that when you try to use the Panorama function in Elements,
you receive a message “unable to create window.”
Does this problem happen when you are trying to merge specific images or
does it happen with all images?
What size are the images you are trying to merge? What dimensions, dots
per inch, and file type are the images?
How many images are you trying to merge? Do you have the same problem
if you try merging just two images?
Make sure when you are going to do the photomerge that any extra
programs are closed. The merging process is rather memory intensive so
the less programs running at once, the better.
Try to resize each of the photos to a smaller size, and then retry the
command.
If you receive the error when saving a panorama, try flattening the file
(use the Layer>Flatten Image command), or save the panorama in the
smaller, JPEG format.
I hope this information helps to resolve your issue. If you require
further assistance with this issue, please update your web case with
complete details, including what steps you have applied and any error
messages you are receiving.

I have recently started having this problem in PSE8. The Adobe workaround
did work, but I don't fancy having to re register each time I use it.
What I have discovered is that it's nothing to do with the image metadata as it occurs before any image is opened.
It SEEMS to only occur if you use file/open with to open an image in the editor - IE start PSE with that command.
If you close elements down, and start it using programs/PSE/Elements (or your desktop shortcut) - the panorama feature magically works.
Each time I've opened the editor 'automatically' using image/open with, it seems to create the problem.
Hope this helps

Creating Panoramas with Aperture

I am new to digital photography and i am considering Aperture 2 as an upgrade from iPhoto. I wish to know however if aperture can merge photos into panoramas, and if not is there a suitable plug in to accomplish this.

Welcome to the forum.
Aperture has no stitching features, and I know of no plug-ins for it. To be honest, though, even if there were you'd be better off with a dedicated stitching application such as PTGui or Autopano Pro, both of which will also do HDR at the same time as stitching.

launch iPhoto wile holding down the option key and select the original library - when you create a new library of course it is empty
And you seriously need to backup your iPhoto library and purchase and install iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x from the App store and download and run the iPhoto library upgraded \then run the new iPhoto - 7.1.5 is not fully compatible with Mavericks

MobileMe Galleries created in Aperture are syncing with iPhoto

I used to use iPhoto, but switched to Aperture 3. Now when I create a MobileMe Gallery, the photos publish to the site but don't show up in the Aperture library under MobileMe. When I log in to the Mobileme site, I check the settings for the gallery and it says it is syncing with iPhoto. I can change it to Aperture manually, and then it will show up properly when I go back to Aperture, but I can't figure out why it's defaulting to iPhoto. I went into the iPhoto preferences and removed all accounts, and there also are not any photos in iPhoto at all. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks Richard, very helpful. I wondered why I couldn't see my old mobileme galleries in Aperture.
I have swapped between iPhoto '09, Aperture 3, iPhoto '11 and now back to Aperture. Whilst I love the ease of use and relative speed of iPhoto, Aperture's adjustments and masters/versions handling has the edge for me now that my masters collection is too big for my MBP. And with a clean install of Lion my machine now seems more responsive than it has been for a while.
Changing the setting of each gallery is a bit dull, is there a global 'manage mobile me galleries with iPhoto/Aperture' setting anywhere?

Creating DVD from iPhoto Slideshow with music

I'm trying to create a DVD of a slideshow with music that was created previously in iPhoto and then "Shared with iDVD". The .m4v file located in Pictures> iPhoto Slideshows is not accessible in iDVD. The only way I can make it work is to spend the hour or so required to start from scratch by clicking "Share with iDVD" from an open iPhoto slideshow, thus creating a .m4v file and then going directly to the iDVD menu that's automatically opened at the end of the "Share with iDVD" process. Any ideas?

Welcome to the forums.
When I'm going from iPhoto to iDVD with a slideshow, I get good results by Exporting from iPhoto to a large-sized Quicktime movie. I can preview the video and music, and if I'm happy, I can then just drop the Quicktime file onto the iDVD menu area (not into a drop zone, that's just eye candy). It's been a reliable process for me.

Hi
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
• Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
only You can buy from Apple is
• FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
AppleMan1958
You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

Panoramic photos. I have a Sony Cybershot camera. My problem is that I can't view my panoramic photos properly with iPhoto. Sony says to contact Mac support. Has anyone any info on this prob, please?

Not sure what you want - you shoot the photo by doing a sweep and the camera makes a static JPEG that is long (panaromic) and you import it - on the camera and in iPhoto is is a panaromic photo

Moving a merged library created with iPhoto Library Manager

I merged two iPhoto libraries with iPhoto Library Manager 3.5.5 on an external hard disk using an iMac. I have tried to move the new merged library to the internal disk on my laptop, as I wish to travel taking all my photos (about 28,500). However, every time I try to move or copy the merged library it stops after copying about 123 MB (of about 62GB) and I get the following message:
"You can’t copy “Merged Library” because it has the same name as another item on the destination volume, and that volume doesn’t distinguish between upper- and lowercase letters in filenames."
The "same name" reference is to the file it makes every time before copying, which I erase before trying again. What am I doing wrong? How can I transfer this new merged library to my laptop?
Thank you.

Ok, so how do I correct for this. I ran Time Machine to back up my computer, sent it in to be repaired, and now I want to Restore my stuff. I get that error, but the only thing I've done to the drive is reformatted using Snow Leopard, and didn't see such choices go by. I just want my stuff restored. Can someone explain the difference between "case-sensitive/journaled" and "journaled", and how to change back. Where are these choices?

Panoramas in iPhoto '09

A. When I would make a panorama, here's the steps I took:
1. Take pictures with my camera.
2. Import into iPhoto'09.
3. Assign titles to pictures and export into folder on desktop.
4. Open Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 and import photos from desktop folder.
5. Let APE 6 create panorama and then save it back to the desktop folder.
6. Import it using iPhoto'09. Edit it using enhance, crop, straighten, and adjust if necessary. It worked perfectly.
B. I updated to Snow Leopard. When I imported it into iPhoto'09 and did the normal edit's everything slightly changed. As you can see in the attached movie the finished panorama would change sizes. I assumed that it was an interacting between iPhoto'09, Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 and Snow Leopard. So, I ordered Adobe Photoshop Elements 8. NOTE: I cannot add a movie file, but I did add it to the same question in the Adobe forums.
C. I installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 and it's still doing the same thing. Note it only changes size when I click on a panorama picture. The 3rd picture was a normal size single picture.
D. I have an Early 2009 24 inch iMac (2.93 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo) running OSX 10.6.1.
E. Anyone have any suggestions or did you have the same problem and what corrections did you do?

See if you can straighten the photo with PSE before importing into iPhoto and then do just the other edits, crop. adjust, in iPhoto. See if that will avoid the problem.
Do you have a Canon camera? If so there's an application, PhotoStitch, that came with the camera and that may create panoramas that don't have issues with iPhoto.
